You can also simply decorate cookies made from your favorite recipe, provided that the surface is very flat and smooth.

Material required
A pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter; otherwise, cut out ovals by hand.

1. In a bowl, cream the butter and icing sugar; whisk in the eggs. Gradually mix in the flour to form a smooth dough.
2. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a 5 mm thickness. Use the cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
3. Bake in a 180° C/350° F oven for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are baked and lightly golden.
4. Cool completely before decorating.
