Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

I got a sugar cookie order this week, and since it's October, I decided to make pumpkin shaped sugar cookies. Then, I thought, of they're going to look like pumpkins, why not make them taste like pumpkin pie? I swapped out part of the white sugar for brown, and added the traditional pumpkin pie spices to the dough. 

As the cookies came out of the oven, I topped each with orange colored modeling chocolate, impressed the lines, and piped on the leaves and vines with royal icing.

These sweet, soft, spicy cookies taste as delicious as they look!
