Pumpkin Spiced Spider Web Cookie Pizza

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube sugar cookie dough (16.5 oz)
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a round pizza pan with cooking spray.
  2. Press the cookie dough evenly onto prepared pizza pan. Bake for 14-16 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  3. Prepare chocolate ganache: Add chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth. If needed, heat for an additional 10-15 seconds. Set aside until ready to use.
  4. While pizza is cooling, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. If using an electric mixer, use the paddle attachment. Beat in pumpkin, and then slowly mix in powdered sugar. For a thicker frosting, use 4 cups. Mix in pumpkin pie spice and vanilla.
  5. Spread frosting over the top of the cooled cookie pizza. Place chocolate ganache into a sandwich bag and cut off a small corner. Pipe circles around the cookie pizza, approximately ½ inch apart until you reach the center.
  6. To create the spider web, use a toothpick and starting at the center, pull the toothpick through the frosting to the outer edge. Repeat at desired intervals around the cookie.
  7. Chill until the frosting hardens slightly. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

If you don’t want to use pumpkin frosting, you may use vanilla frosting and tint it orange with food coloring. You may use a 9” size pizza pan, but there will be extra cookie dough and frosting left.

This recipe is the most simplistic. Make the attached sugar cookie recipe or grab a pre-made store brand. Use icing as glue and create decadent feathers with candy corn.

Turkey Nutter Butter Cookies (Pin it to Pinterest)

The most popular Thanksgiving Food Craft, the flexibility of this food craft is nice. How much you want to go with this cookie is up to you. You can have a stand up turkey or a lay down turkey instead.  Add left over Halloween candy to spruce up the design or keep it simplistic with icing and candy corn.

Rolo Pilgram Hats (Pin it to Pinterest)

On the show we made these with chocolate peanut butter cups but you can also do with caramel cups. Pick up store bought frosted fudge cookies and glue on the top of the hat to make the perfect little snack for your little Pilgrim.

Chocolate Covered Oreo Turkeys (Pin it to Pinterest)

This turkey craft is likely for experienced and steady of hands baker. Mix colors and create bright feathers on your Oreo Turkey using a pretzel as a template. Again, how little or how much of the activity and design you want to do is up to you.

Creative Baby Halloween Costume Ideas

Pin to Pinterest

We had so much fun sharing our 31 Family Halloween Costume Ideas that we had to find more! Since we have a 10 month old baby at home, we had to hunt down some of the most creative baby Halloween costume ideas. Since I am pregnant with twins, I wanted to share with you some of the best homemade costumes, but for me, I had to find where to buy them. Below is a generous mix of DIY Halloween costumes and adorable costumes to buy for baby (when you don’t have time or energy to make them!)

Baby Cow Halloween Costume with an UDDER from Make It Love It

Say Mooo! There isn’t much needed for this adorable cow costume.  We think a white Gerber onesie, some black felt, and latex bottle nipples will top off this costume perfectly!

Harry Potter Baby Halloween Costume from Love and Lion

This is a fun Baby Halloween Costume Idea. If your child is going to be Harry Pottery make sure you have your Gryffindor Scarf and Round Black Glasses. We also love these Harry Potter Baby Costumes.

Circus Animal Cookie Baby Costume from A Joyful Riot

Is this animal cookie not the cutest?  For this outfit, grab a pink jogger suit and create some felt circles from a pack of multi-colored felt sheets.


Little Hunter in a Truck Costume from Fallen in and Out of Love

I mean stop… this is just too much and so cute. Of course you need a green Little Tikes Camo Truck and your stuffed animal dear – Look for a fun camo costume too… Ready to go hunting?

This little man looks so much like my son that we mgiht actually go this direction for our Halloween Costume – I just fell in love with the costume. This outfit is handmade or you can pick a Charlie Brown Costume on Amazon.

This baby chicken look unsure of his new identify. Find a fun bull costume for your pup and a chicken costume for baby.

T-Rex Baby Costume from Costume Works

PERFECTION with this homemade dinosaur cage!  Pick up a dinosaur costume for baby. We think chicken wire would go great inside the wagon and if you don’t have a plastic red wagon, you can find more HERE. I also found  a Jurassic Park Vinyl Decal.

Carrot Homemade Baby Costume from Creating Really Awesome Fun Things

It’s as simple as an orange long sleeve onesie and some green tulle on this homemade Halloween costume idea.

Mousetrap Halloween Baby Costume from Coolest Homemade Costumes

I mean were do we start with this adorable Halloween Costume Idea?  Pick up a mouse costume, some foam cheese, and it looks like a trip to home depot for wood board and some PVC pipe will be needed. Spray with gray spray paint.  Pull baby on a plastic red wagon, you can find them HERE.

We have seen people make their own flippers with construction paper.
