INGREDIENTS

Sugar Cookies:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing tubes in Halloween colors, for decorating (optional)

Dip:

4 oz brick-style plain cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup canned pumpkin purée
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup 35% heavy cream
2 pkg (1 1/2 oz each) M&M’S® Ghoul's Mix, divided
1/4 cup chocolate cookie crumbs

1
Sugar Cookies: In bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, using electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg. Beat in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until incorporated. Shape into disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chilled.
2
Preheat oven to 350˚F. On lightly flour surface, roll out dough into 1/8-inch thickness. Using 2-inch Halloween cookie cutters (tombstones, pumpkins or bats), cut out 16 cookies, rerolling scraps as needed (use any remaining dough for another use). Transfer to parchment paper–lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
3
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden just around edges. Let cool completely on rack. Decorate cookies with icing (if using).
4
Dip: Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla until smooth.
5
Whip cream until stiff peaks form; fold into pumpkin mixture. Fold in half of the M&M’S®. Spoon into serving dish. Sprinkle with cookie crumbs and garnish with remaining M&M’S®. Serve with cookies for dipping.
Tip
If desired, sprinkle colored sugar on cookies before baking.
