How To Make The Sugar Cookie Pumpkins:
- Firstly, gather together your equipment and ingredients and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Secondly, in a large bowl, using an electric whisk, beat together the 100g of unsalted butter with 100g caster sugar until light and fluffy.
- One at a time, beating well between each addition, beat in the 2 large eggs and 1tbsp of vanilla extract until incorporated.
- Next, add in the 30g of cornflour and 300g of plain flour and beat with the whisk until the mixture comes together into a dough (TIP: the dough may seem slightly sticky, don’t worry, that’s the perfect texture).
- Now, cut out two large pieces of parchment paper, place one sheet onto a baking tray and lightly dust with flour.
- Place the dough on the lightly floured sheet and top with the second sheet of parchment paper.
- Then, using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 1inch thickness.
- Once the dough has been rolled out, place the baking tray with the rolled dough into the fridge and allow to chill for 40 minutes.
- As the chill time is coming to an end, preheat the oven to 200C / 180C Fan / Gas Mark 6.
- Take the dough out the fridge, remove the top piece of parchment paper and using the pumpkin cutter and embosser, cut out and emboss 12 pumpkin shapes.
- Using the pumpkin face cutters, carefully cut out the faces of half the pumpkins, leaving the other half plain.
- Place each pumpkin shaped cookie onto a prepared baking tray.
- Place the cookies into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown at the edges.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking trays before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
How To Assemble:
- Now cool, it’s time to assemble.
- On the base of 3 cookies (without a pumpkin face), add a tbsp of biscoff spread and on the remaining 3 cookie bases, add a tbsp of hazelnut spread.
- Finally, top each of the bases with the pumpkin cookies that have faces and gently press together to sandwich.
That’s your Jack’O Lantern Sugar Cookie Sandwiches prepared, chilled, cut, baked and sandwiched, ready for you to enjoy.

- You can store these cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
