Spooky pumpkin cookies
A Halloween recipe to make with children: circles of mini wheat tortillas filled with pumpkin purée, brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Half of the circles get eyes and a mouth cut out, like a carved pumpkin, and go on top as lids. They bake at 180 °C until golden.

Ingredients
- 10 mini wheat tortillas
- 1 cup cooked pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt

- Melted butter or vegetable oil (optional)
Method
- Mix the pumpkin purée with the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Set aside.
- Use a round cutter (or a wide glass) to cut circles out of the tortillas. You need an even number to make the "lids".
- Cut eyes and a mouth into half of the circles with a knife, like carved pumpkins.
- Place a teaspoon of filling in the centre of each base circle. Cover with a "face" circle and press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush with beaten egg or melted butter.
- Bake at 180 °C for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
