Cookie
Preheat oven to 375°F
Cream butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, and almond in a large bowl (or Kitchen-Aid) until fluffy.
In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms.
Roll out and cut with a cookie cutter. Thin dough will make crunchy cookies. If you want a soft dough, it needs to be about ⅜ in. {NOTE: Try not to handle the dough too much}
Bake for 8-10 minutes on greased pan. Let cool.
Frost and decorate
Make frosting by mixing all ingredients with a hand mixer. If too thick, add a tad more milk.
Frost the cookies with orange frosting.
Use the decorating gel to add texture to the pumpkins. Sprinkle with orange sugar sprinkles then add an M&M for the green stem and place on the candy eyes.
