Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O’-Lantern Cookies.
Fridays require something sweet, enter these Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O’-Lantern Cookies. Sweet milk chocolate, sandwiched between spiced brown sugar cookies, and finished with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar. There’s nothing not to love about these cookies. Perfect for both a spooky Halloween night, or an elegant Thanksgiving dinner…or just when you need a deliciously sweet chocolate filled cookie.

This is one of those Fridays that I’m so excited for.
One, it’s just been a very, very long week. Lots of good things, plenty of cooking, one afternoon/night of not feeling well (probably due to lack of sleep), so much pretty white snow, cold temperatures, and a whole slew of other things. It’s safe to say that I’m ready for the weekend…and my inbox to slow down for a couple of days.
Two, we have cookies to talk about. Delicious, cute, chocolate filled cookies, that are the quintessential autumn dessert.
I’m obsessed with these cookies and have been so excited to share them with you guys!

Aside from their major cuteness factor, these cookies are honestly so good.
饼干本身是一种红糖饼干,被肉桂,姜和肉豆蔻加香料。我想要饼干真的让那种“加香料”的味道和味道甜美,并用每一口甜美。毕竟它是一个秋天的饼干!也就是说,我没有在我的饼干中包含任何南瓜。我只是不认为每次我做一个南瓜饼干时都不需要。南瓜经常导致饼干变成蛋糕......而且我不是Cakey Cookie的最大粉丝。所以在这里没有南瓜,只是南瓜形!


Speaking of which, I’ve been searching unsuccessfully for the exact cookie cutter I used to make these. I wanted to give you guys the link. It’s an old Target cookie cutter, probably over five years old now. Sadly, I’m guessing it’s no longer available. Oh well, I found some just as cute ones that I really wish I had right now.
These cookie cuttersare my favorite, and would make for really fun cookies. I love that each cookie would be unique.这个饼干刀would give you more of the look of my cookie, but I think they’d be just a bit bigger. Also, I havethis cutterand love it, but it does not have a face. Any of these options work great! And then of course, if you already have a pumpkin cookie cutter, use that. Then just cut out eyes using a sharp knife.
不要强调让饼干看起来完美。如果你是万圣节,他们就是搞砸了,他们就是他们的怪异,这是完美的。


For the filling, I knew I wanted it to be straight up milk chocolate. Sometimes you need a good dark chocolate moment in your life, and sometimes life just calls for milk chocolate…preferably melted and sandwiched between these cookies.
Today is a milk chocolate day cookie day.
Go with me on this, you will be so happy you did.

To give each cookie a little sparkle, I dusted them lightly with cinnamon sugar.
Yes, yes, yes…sugar cookies, milk chocolate, and cinnamon sugar. All things sweet, all things perfect, and everything you need out of a cookie right now. There’s even a little browned butter too.
If you’re doing cookies, you might as well do them up right, you know?
Make these tonight, make them this weekend, or maybe even for Halloween. And then maybe even again for Thanksgiving. It doesn’t matter, just make them soon. Trust me, you’ll be making batch after batch because these cookies are that good.

Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O'-Lantern Cookies
Sweet milk chocolate, sandwiched between spiced brown sugar cookies, and finished with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar. Perfect for both a spooky Halloween night or an elegant Thanksgiving dinner...or just when you need a deliciously sweet chocolate filled cookie!
Ingredients
- 3sticks (1 1/2 cups)salted butter, softened
- 1 1/4杯light brown sugar, packed
- 1tablespoonpure vanilla extract
- 2eggs, at room temperature
- 4 1/2杯all-purpose flour
- 1茶匙baking soda
- 1茶匙cinnamon
- 1/2茶匙生姜
- 1/4茶匙nutmeg
- 1/2茶匙salt
- 12.ouncesmilk chocolate, melted
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 2tablespoonssalted butter
- 3tablespoons肉桂糖
Instructions
-
1.在大型搅拌碗中,奶油将黄油,糖和香草直至光和蓬松,约3-5分钟。加入鸡蛋,一次,并混合直至均匀合并。加入面粉,小苏打,肉桂,姜,肉豆蔻和盐,拍直到合并,面团形成一个球。
2. Generously flour your work surface. Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disk. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Make sure you're using enough flour or your dough will stick. Cut out the cookies using a pumpkin cookie cutter. Carefully transfer the cookies to a parchment lined baking sheet. Cut eyes and a mouth in half the cookies using a pairing knife or cookie cutter. Cover the baking sheet and place the sheet in the freezer, freeze until firm, about 15-20 minutes. Roll out the leftover scraps, and repeat with the remaining disk of dough.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the cookies on the middle rack of the oven for 8-12 minutes (for soft cookies) or until just lightly golden brown. Do not over bake. Cool on the baking sheet five minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
4, Add the butter to medium pot. Allow the butter to slightly brown until it smells toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir often. Remove from the heat and let cool 5 minutes. Brush the butter over the top half of the cookies and then sprinkle the cookies with cinnamon sugar.
5.为了组装,将熔化的牛奶巧克力涂在一半的饼干上没有面孔。将顶部南瓜面对巧克力,轻轻按压粘附。可以立即提供曲奇饼,或让巧克力牢固,并在密封容器中储存长达3天。

I am so glad! I hope these turn out amazing for you, when you make them Maja!!
It seems so delicious
谢谢!
Well Tieghan….I was just thInking I wanted to make cookies today. Forgot I had a pumpkin cookie cutter! Do you think some Nutella might work inbetween those cookies?
HI! Nutella will be so delicious. Great idea! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
I’ve ordered the cookie cutter from etsy and i’m SO excited to make these!
Perfect! I hope you love this Charlotte!
Yay, I love when you do nut-free desserts (although I do like LOOKING at all the peanut butter goodness too haha)! I definitely think I’m going to be trying this soon.
You totally should! I hope you love this Victoria! Thank you!
能够订购您在亚马逊的确切饼干切割机 - 订购,并将为下周一的雏菊女孩侦察员提供。将再次为感恩节赚钱 - 馅饼的一个很好的补充。
That is so sweet! I hope they all love these cookies, Debbi! Thank you so much!
hey girl- these are so cool! yummy! Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much Shawnna! I hope you love this!
These are adorable! I don’t have a pumpkin cookie cutter but might just make them as circle sandwich cookies.. def not as cute but probably still delicious!
Thank you so much Gillian! I am so glad you are loving these cookies and I am sure they would be so great as just circles!
这些几乎太可爱了。他们带着微笑到我的脸上。我几乎感到难过,我几乎说,咬了其中一个。我必须尝试一下。我喜欢这些曲折的扭曲曲奇饼。
非常感谢!I hope you love them!
Oh my, what a cute cute cookie!!
Can’t believe you already have snow; it’s 78° in south of France and I’m still scrolling through your summer recipes. Back to this cutie, we don’t do Halloween here (and don’t eat much pumpkin either) but I love all these creative and pretty recipes you offer in October. Sending some warmth along, à bientôt!
非常感谢你!我很高兴你喜欢这些!
These look fantastic!!

Thank you Rebecca!
Excelente idea!!! Wonderful idea!!
谢谢Marta!
These are adorable!!
Thank you Deborah!
Will these cookies be good as next day cookies? I’d like to make them for a party, and I’d have to do them the night before (being served at lunch the next day). I’m afraid they might get too soggy or something.
Hey Nina! These cookies are great the next day!! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
My 5 year old and I had a blast making these together today!! Best part is we had all the ingredients so super easy to make on a lazy Saturday!
I am so glad you and your daughter loved making these and they turned out well for you! Thank you Michelle!
I’m a bit confused. Are you putting the cookies right in the oven after freezing or waiting until they’re soft again?
HI! You should bake the cookies right after freezing. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
These were delicious! The spice in the cookie was my favorite part. Also, I liked how they weren’t super sweet. Definitely better the next day when the chocolate hardened, I used the Ghiardelli milk chocolate which I highly recommend! I found that the thinner, more lightly browned cookies were much better than the softer cookies! I’m not very good at evenly rolling cookies, so some cooked more than others I made ghosts and pumpkins and they were so cute. I will definitely make these cookies again soon.
谢谢你这么多阿什利!我很高兴你喜欢这个食谱,对你来说很好!
这些都是超级可爱,我在万圣节的办公室里为他们!问题:使用盐渍黄油的价值是什么,而不是沉迷的?
HI! I love using salted butter as I think it makes baked treats like cookies extra special. You can use unsalted butter, but add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt to the dough. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
I am definitely giving these a try! I am in the U.K. what would the measurement of sugar be in grams?
Hi Laurie! It is 250grams. I hope you love these cookies! Let me know how they turn out!
Hi Laurie! It’s about 250 grams of sugar. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
These are the most adorable cookies, I love them!!
谢谢!
食谱说它制作了30张饼干 - 这是30个完整的夹心饼干或30个单一饼干吗?谢谢!
HI! It is 30 sandwiched cookies. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
我很少留下评论,但这些是最容易推出和切割的饼干。今天让我的第二批留在万圣节上的所有孙子,14岁。谢谢你的一个伟大的食谱。
谢谢这么多芭芭拉!我很高兴你喜欢这些!
Delicious! I made these (used dark brown sugar because it’s all i had) and they were great. Easy to make – assembly does take a bit longer though but super cute. They remind me of a Keebler fudge sandwich cookie but homemade and some extra cinnamon! Would definitely recommend making for a fun baking project.
我很高兴这些对你来说令人惊叹,你喜欢他们摩根!非常感谢!我希望你有一个伟大的万圣节!
Made these cookies the other night to add to my Halloween treat bags I was taking to work. They were so cute and everyone loved them! The cookies by themselves are a little bland so I wouldn’t suggest making these as a stand alone cookie, but when filled with the milk chocolate they were perfect. I used a pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out the pumpkin shapes and a paring knife for the eyes and smiles. I learned bigger is better! The first batch, the eyes and mouth expanded and didn’t leave a hole as big as I wanted for the milk chocolate to peek through, but once I learned this I made the adjustments and the results were great. Thanks for sharing this one Tieghan. My co-workers thank you
Thank you so much Kimiko! I am so glad you loved these cookies and they turned out amazing for you! Also, so sweet you added them to your treat bags!
我今晚做了这些,他们很棒!我做了一些巧克力,有些没有。棕色的黄油在顶部真的让口味唱歌。谢谢你的伟大食谱
I am so glad you loved these and they turned out amazing for you! Thank you so much!
I made these and they are gorgeous and delicious. I used the jack-o-lantern cutter in this set:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b07gfnp5th/ref=pppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=utf8&psc=1. But, I was having a difficult time making nice cutouts. My husband figured out how to detach the inner face from the outer, main cutter – this was the hack I needed -was amazing. One other note: If you cut the bottoms/background pumpkins in the same direction as the face pumpkins, and want to put the chocolate on the flat side, the stems will go in opposite direction – so you can use the back side of the cutter to cut out the base – just be careful, because the sharper side will be facing up.
I am so happy to hear that these turned out so well for you, Anita! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Another idea is to snap the stem off the base cookie, so there’s only one stem.
Thank you Anita! xTieghan
这些看起来很美味。你能重新分享精确的cookie刀链吗?我正在得到一个不同的产品。爱你所有的食谱!
嗨梅丽莎!谢谢!没有更多的刀具并没有任何链接,但这就像你能得到的那么靠近https://rstyle.me/n/c9457zb9wzf
Quick question!! Can I freeze the cookie dough to do the rest another day?
我不明白为什么你无法冻结面团并再次让他们成为一天。这听起来像是一个梦幻般的方式让万圣节的乐趣持续更长时间。请享用!如果你有任何疑问,请告诉我们。
可能是一个愚蠢的问题,但是当你把它们粘在冰箱里时,你已经删除了额外的面团?或者冻结帮助使更容易拆下额外的面团碎片吗?
Hey Brooke, you should remove the extra pieces of dough before freezing. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan ???
现在制作这些,我希望他们很好!把我带走!
我希望你爱这些伊丽莎白!让我知道他们是如何为你而来的!Xtieghan.
Could you use Nutella in this recipe instead of the milk chocolate?
Hi Jenn! I am sure Nutella will be delicious. Great idea! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan ???
我迫不及待地想把这些饼干这个周末!Thank you for linking the cookie cutters! Can I make the dough ahead of time and store it in the freezer before rolling it out and baking it?
HI! Yes that works really well! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan ???
喜欢这些可爱的饼干!他们味道美味 - 我的女儿喜欢帮助我们让他们进入小饼干三明治!
One issue: rolling the dough 1/4 inch made the cookies too thick, but the thinner versions broke when we tried to lift the dough. Any idea where we went awry? We do live at 8000 ft… Cheers!
Hey Rachel!! For a thinner cookie, use a metal spatula dusted with flour to lift the cookie off the counter and onto the cookie sheet OR roll the cookie out between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Either option should solve the issue of the dough breaking on you! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am so glad you guys love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan ??
Totally made these for Halloween and they turned out so good!! Love the texture and the spices with the milk chocolate. The cinnamon sugar really took it over the top. Also really impressed because usually my sugar cookie dough sticks really bad but this one was really easy to work with! We ended up using a knife to cut out faces and we actually really loved that because each one had its own little mini vibe and they all looked so silly or crazy, it cracked everybody up. So I highly recommend cutting faces out sometime because it adds a whole new fun element to the recipe!! This will be an every Halloween recipe for sure, thank you for the share!!
Thank you Elle! I am so glad these turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Made these for my nieces and nephews last week. They were super easy and a big hit with the both the kids and adults! My pumpkin cutter did not have eyes or a nose, so I cut those out with a paring knife. I was afraid they would fill in while the cookie baked, but I think the tip to freeze them before baking did the trick and they looked so cute! In fact, I liked these cookies so much that I am thinking about making them for Christmas with a gingerbread man cookie cutter.
噢爱!我很高兴这些对你来说这么好!Xtieghan.
I haven’t made these yet as I’m waiting for my granddaughter this weekend! Was wondering if I can use chocolate buttercream frosting instead of chocolate?thanks, Ann
嘿andrea,
Yes that would work. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
嗨羊毛,我很高兴这周末将这些周末作为朋友的礼物!我习惯于测量鳞片中的面粉,只是想知道当你测量面粉时,你勺子和水平/如果你有重量估计!
thanks!
Hi Isabel! I spoon and level a cup measurement! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
我讨厌留下负面评论,但这些都没有对我们拒绝。面团是如此,所以粘性很难推出。我一直在加入面粉来解决它,然后他们就像面粉一样品尝。眼睛和嘴唇形状也看起来很糟糕(这是我的)。好奇,有人如何在不牺牲味道的情况下成功推出这面团。
Hi Mari! I am really sorry to hear that! Is there anything that could have been changed while making this? I would love to help! xTieghan
Hello is it ground ginger or fresh ginger?
嘿命运,
You will want to use ground ginger. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
your cookie cutter links arent working
Hey Jack,
So sorry they aren’t working for you, but they are working on our end. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
There are no instructions of how to melt the chocolate or what exact type to use!
Hey T,
I like to use milk chocolate and simply melt in the microwave:) I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made these today. I have no idea how you got them done in 45 minutes. It took about an hour just to roll out the dough and cut out the cookies. Then you have to freeze for 15-20. Which i didn’t do. Then they bake for 12 minutes. I also got 48 sandwich cookies and 16 single layer ones. I used a decent size cookie cutter too, not a small one.
我希望他们是值得所有的工作。
艾米莉!对不起,这些花了比预期更长!我希望这些仍然为你而异!Xtieghan.
Wasted 3 hours trying to get the recipe to work out. I have never not succeeded at baking any cookies ive tried. I had very disappointed kids this year because of this. Cutter did not work well, dough was too soft to cut out faces, freezing did not help. Had to pitch entire thing. So not worth making
