JACK - O - LANTERN COOKIES 
CHOCOLATE DOUGH:

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
2 c. flour
4 tbsp. cocoa

ORANGE DOUGH:

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. orange extract
1 tsp. orange food coloring
2 c. flour
2 tbsp. flour

Follow these directions for each dough: Cream butter and sugar; beat in eggs (for orange dough, add flavoring and food coloring). Add flour (for chocolate dough, also add cocoa) and stir until stiff dough is formed. Flatten dough and wrap to refrigerate overnight. Roll chocolate dough into cookie circles (round cookie cutter is best). Roll orange dough into same sized circles. Cut out a jack-o-lantern face in orange dough and place carefully on top of chocolate cookie. Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees.

Note: Dough works best when cold.
