Then cut the cookies about a quarter of an inch thick, pressed down on one side a little with a wooden spoon to make them more of a pumpkin shape rather than a circle and laid them on a cookie sheet. Lastly, TAKE a small, round lid from one of a canning lid or spice containers and made the two curved indention's then added a chocolate chip on top to serve as a stem.
