In reply to Julianna. I'm so glad they were such a hit, Julianna! I am working on a cookbook currently. It is taking me some time, but I am working on it. :)

This is a HUGE HIT at my house!!! Thank you so much for coming up with this delicious recipe!! I made these for Thanksgiving (they were gone so fast, that I had to make a(nother) double batch just to bring to our family dinner!)
I just made this recipe into pink hearts instead of pumpkins, for Valentine’s Day today. My kids and husband can hardly wait!! They’re chilling in our fridge right now… We love your reliably delicious recipes. Thank you 🥰 I would buy a cookbook of your recipes!

Video now active -yay — just in time as the dough is chilling in the freezer

Help Sam — I’m not seeing/find the video link — I always like to watch them a couple times before I dive in. Looks like this could be a bit tricky (no tricks, just treats!).

In reply to Lisa A Martinos. Hi Lisa! If you could form the pumpkin log into a Christmas tree shape that would work. :)

Perfect! Remade and perfect! I used regular butter and the dough rolled and was not sticky. Came out perfect. I’m bringing them to my son’s class Halloween party and can’t wait for the kids to enjoy them. Thanks for sharing this recipe. You make everything so easy and delicious.

In reply to Ariana.

how would we make a Xmas tree or other themed shape for the cookies? I know Sam said use a cookie cutter but does that mean cut dozens out and stack them on top of each other until we get a log?

In reply to Lisa A Martinos. Hi Lisa! You'll need to get them to the refrigerator for a bit so you can slice them. :)

I made them today to use. tomorrow. After I made the cookie dough logs I put them in the freezer. So I should take them out of the freezer in the morning ants then put them in the fridge so they are good to bake in the evening?

In reply to Sam. I had the same issue but I think it’s because I mistakenly used plant based butter. The dough won’t roll and is super sticky! The batter is delicious, so I’m going to try again and be sure to use regular butter. I think the issue was baker error. I’ll post again once I’ve tried again.

In reply to Susan G. Hi Susan! They were probably around 8 inches long. :)

Could you give an approximate length of your orange logs?

In reply to Erika. I'm so sorry this is happening, Erika! This can happen if your butter is too soft when you start, or it may just need a little more flour. I hope it goes better next time. :)

First of all, I love all the recipes I’ve tried so far and haven’t had an issue yet! But for some reason this recipe is stumping me! Both times I’ve tried to make the cookie dough it’s not turning into dough. It’s super sticky and not a dough like consistency. I know my measurements are correct so I’m not sure what’s going on!

Thanks for all the amazing recipes Sam!

In reply to DianeO. We're so happy you two had fun baking together! Sounds like they turned out nicely regardless of the mishap

I baked this recipe with my Dad. It’s a fun project that’s intriguing to some. I’d make it again and will try Deborah’s Christmas cookie idea.
I over chilled the white dough by mistake. It didn’t conform enough to the orange dough, creating gaps in the cookie.Yes, you warned us. Fortunately, the white dough softened while waiting for the oven to heat up and I was able to press the white dough against the orange dough.
Thank you for such a cute baking project.

These turned out really well- I added some pumpkin spice into the orange part of the dough as a surprise in the center.

In reply to Leslie. I find this happens to me whenever I bake cookies on a dark colored baking pan. Try using light colored if you aren't already.
