  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
For the Decoration

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by baking a batch of Brown Butter and Maple Chewy Pumpkin Cookies following the provided recipe. Preheat your oven according to the original recipe's instructions.
  2. Allow the cookies to spread slightly during baking, looking golden brown around the edges. Once baked, remove them from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
  3. While your cookies cool, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth. Repeat for black candy melts.
  4. Grab a piping bag and pour in the melted white chocolate. Drizzle over the cooled cookies in a ghostly shape, leaving spaces for the eyes.
  5. Using the black candy melts, carefully pipe two small dots onto each ghost cookie to create the eyes.
  6. Let the decorated cookies sit at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly.
