Hi Lisa! If you could form the pumpkin log into a Christmas tree shape that would work. 🙂

Perfect! Remade and perfect! I used regular butter and the dough rolled and was not sticky. Came out perfect. I’m bringing them to my son’s class Halloween party and can’t wait for the kids to enjoy them. Thanks for sharing this recipe. You make everything so easy and delicious.

how would we make a Xmas tree or other themed shape for the cookies? I know Sam said use a cookie cutter but does that mean cut dozens out and stack them on top of each other until we get a log?

Hi Lisa! You’ll need to get them to the refrigerator for a bit so you can slice them. 🙂

I made them today to use. tomorrow. After I made the cookie dough logs I put them in the freezer. So I should take them out of the freezer in the morning ants then put them in the fridge so they are good to bake in the evening?

I had the same issue but I think it’s because I mistakenly used plant based butter. The dough won’t roll and is super sticky! The batter is delicious, so I’m going to try again and be sure to use regular butter. I think the issue was baker error. 😉 I’ll post again once I’ve tried again.

Hi Susan! They were probably around 8 inches long. 🙂

Could you give an approximate length of your orange logs?

In reply to Erika.

I’m so sorry this is happening, Erika! This can happen if your butter is too soft when you start, or it may just need a little more flour. I hope it goes better next time. 🙂

First of all, I love all the recipes I’ve tried so far and haven’t had an issue yet! But for some reason this recipe is stumping me! Both times I’ve tried to make the cookie dough it’s not turning into dough. It’s super sticky and not a dough like consistency. I know my measurements are correct so I’m not sure what’s going on!

Thanks for all the amazing recipes Sam!

We’re so happy you two had fun baking together! Sounds like they turned out nicely regardless of the mishap 😊

I baked this recipe with my Dad. It’s a fun project that’s intriguing to some. I’d make it again and will try Deborah’s Christmas cookie idea.
I over chilled the white dough by mistake. It didn’t conform enough to the orange dough, creating gaps in the cookie.Yes, you warned us. Fortunately, the white dough softened while waiting for the oven to heat up and I was able to press the white dough against the orange dough.
Thank you for such a cute baking project.

These turned out really well- I added some pumpkin spice into the orange part of the dough as a surprise in the center.

I find this happens to me whenever I bake cookies on a dark colored baking pan. Try using light colored if you aren’t already.

Hi Kris! We cover how to freeze the dough in the post. Enjoy! 😊

Hi there, really excited to bake these for Halloween (in UK!). Could I freeze the dough instead of chilling it, then slice it frozen before baking it? Thanks, Kris

Going to try for Christmas w/ red & green “ornaments” in place of the pumpkin.
Gold sprinkles instead of stem;
Rolling dough in sugar crystals before slicing.

I am so glad everyone enjoyed them, Ariana! That sounds like a lot of fun! What kind of design would you put in the middle?

My daughters LOVED making (and eating!) these this fall! They have requested we make them again for Thanksgiving! They are also wondering about making them with a Christmas themed center!

In reply to Tyler.

Oh, you accidentally pulled out too much dough. You were supposed to take out 1/4 of the dough, then 1 TB of that. The 3/4c is so you can actually measure that 1/4 of the dough.
