Anyway, a couple of years ago Hubs, Little Man, and I did the full on Disney vacation (this was before Miss Jellybean was even a glimmer in our eyes). We went in late September (check out this article on When the Best Time to Visit Disney World Is) and had the most magical time.

- -Add all of the dry ingredients in another bowl mixing as you add.
- -Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.

- -Put this dough into a zip lock bag or into a bowl covered with cling wrap.
- -Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours so that the dough can slightly rise.
- Icing Directions:
- -Separate the egg yolk from the white, placing the whites of the eggs into a mixing bowl. Put the egg yolks into a storage container for use later.
- -Add in the sugar, cream of tarter and vanilla with the egg whites beating for 6 minutes of medium speed.

- -Scoop about a third of the orange icing into a piping bag with a #2 tip to outline the cookie.
- -With the remaining orange icing add 1-3 TBSP of water (start with 1 TBSP first as you want it to be thick and runny, not like soup) If the icing does appear to be "soup" like then add 1/4 cup
- of powder sugar to thicken it.
- -Spoon some of the thinner icing onto the cookie, spread this icing on the cookie, except for the pumpkin stem) using a knife.
