STEP 3
Heat oven to 375°F.

STEP 4
Roll out dough on well-floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 5-inch snowman cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 5-7 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.

STEP 5
Combine powdered sugar, 1/2 cup butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla in bowl. Beat at low speed, adding enough half & half for desired spreading consistency. Add red and yellow food color, 1 drop at a time, until desired orange color.

- For a professional look, place 1 cup frosting into small disposable pastry bag. Snip off end leaving 1/8- to 1/4-inch hole. Pipe frosting onto cookie to outline 3 separate pumpkins. Spread remaining frosting in center of each pumpkin.
Tip #2
- Place small decorator candies over gel if you want to create eyes and nose.
