Pumpkin sugar cookies are just ideal to celebrate Halloween. Moreover, you can prepare these cookies in advance too, so that you are not overloaded with too much work on that day. Pumpkin sugar cookies are prepared using  flour, pumpkin, fresh cream, sugar, nuts and other ingredients and baked and outlined with colored icing, so that they resemble a pumpkin completely. Black and green colored icing is commonly used to make these cookies.

It is a great idea to use white butter cream and ice the whole cookie smoothly. Yellow icing can be used for eyes and black for its pupil and mouth. You can involve your kids too in the making of eyes and nose of the ghost!
