Directions for Decorating your Cookies like Pumpkins!
- 2-3 tubes of Wilton sparkly orange gel icing
- 1 tube of Wilton green sparkly gel icing

Once the bars have completely cooled, use the Pumpkin cookie cutter to cut the cookie bars. Try to get them as close as possible so you are not wasting space. You can get 6 shareable (large) pumpkins from one 9 x 13 pan of cookies.
Outline each cookie bar with orange icing and then fill in using the toothpicks to help cover the pumpkin (see photos).
Use the green sparkly gel for the top.
Repeat with all the cookie bars.
