Heat oven to 375°F.

STEP 4
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch cookie cutter. Place, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Transfer to cooling rack. Cool completely.

STEP 5
Combine all frosting ingredients except powdered sugar, half & half and decorator sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.

Tip #1
What do you do with the remaining pumpkin once you’ve opened the can? Use it to flavor ice cream. Combine 1 quart slightly softened vanilla ice cream with remaining pumpkin, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves until well mixed. Spoon into resealable freezer container; freeze.
