Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by creaming the butter with light brown sugar and vanilla extract, then mix in eggs one at a time. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and spices until a soft dough forms.
  2. Divide the dough, flatten into discs, roll out and cut into pumpkin shapes, chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 8-12 minutes until lightly golden, then cool on a rack.
  4. Melt butter in a saucepan until browned, cool slightly and brush on half the cookies, dust with cinnamon sugar.
  5. Melt milk chocolate, spread on plain cookies, and sandwich with decorated ones.

Notes

Use enough flour when rolling out to prevent sticking. Don’t overbake; they should be soft and slightly chewy. Chill dough for perfect pumpkin shapes.
