Step-by-Step Instructions for Jack-o'-Lantern Stuffed Cookies
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually mix this into the creamed mixture until just combined.
- Divide the dough, roll out each half to 1/4 inch thick, and cut out shapes using a jack-o’-lantern cookie cutter.
- Freeze the cut-out cookie tops for 15-20 minutes to maintain their shape while baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake cookies for 8-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- Brown additional butter in a saucepan and use it to brush the tops of the cooled cookies.
- Spread milk chocolate filling on half of the cookies, sandwich with the other half, and dust with cinnamon sugar.
