Makes 8-10 biscuits

Ingredients;

250g plain flour

80g icing sugar

125g vegan butter

½ tsp vanilla powder

1-2 tsp plant milk

Orange, green and red food colours

You will also need; a baking tray, baking paper, rolling pin, mixing bowl, leaf shaped cookie cutters

---

Method;

1.       Pre heat your oven to 180°c

2.       Line your baking tray with baking paper to stop your cookies from sticking

3.       Make your cookie dough by adding the flour, sugar, vanilla powder and vegan butter to the mixing bowl

4.       Use your fingers to crumble the mixture together until it looks like small breadcrumbs

5.       Add the plant milk a little at a time until you have a thick dough and bring the dough together with your hands to make a large ball

6.       Separate off three small balls of dough and set them aside for making the leaves later on

7.       Colour the remaining large ball of dough orange to make the main pumpkin shapes by adding a small drop of orange food colouring to the bowl and kneading in to the mixture

8.       Take small balls of the orange dough, approx. the size of a £2 coin, and roll them in your fingers to create little sausages which are tapered at the ends

9.       Take three tapered sausage shapes at the time and gently press them together on the baking tray to make the pumpkin shapes

10.   Repeat until you have used all the dough.  This should make around 8-10 biscuits depending on how large your pumpkin shapes are

11.   Now colour the remaining three balls of dough so that you have one green, one red and one dark orange

12.       Take tiny blobs of the green dough and press them onto the top of the pumpkin shapes to make the stems

13.       Now lightly flour your worktop and rolling pin and thinly roll out the red, dark orange and remining green dough

14.       Use the leaf shaped cutters to cut out different leaves and gently press them onto the pumpkin shapes to decorate

15.       Bake for around 10-15 minutes until very lightly golden.  When baked, the cookies should feel firm to touch and should not look wet underneath

16.       Eat and enjoy!
