Step 1

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and melted butter in a large bowl. 

Step 2

Add the cold milk, one tablespoon at the time until dough combines. The dough will be stiff. You may not use all the milk, or may need extra. 

Step 3

Divide the dough into two discs and wrap them in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 

Step 4

When you're ready to make them, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Roll out one of the discs of dough until it is fairly thin (about 1/8"). 

Step 5

Use a pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out the shapes and place onto a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Add about a tablespoon of cherry filling to the top. 

Step 6

Roll out the second disc of dough to about the same thickness and cut out the same number of shapes. Use a sharp knife to cut out the eyes and mouth shapes. 

Step 7

Top the cherry filling with the jack-0-lantern face.

Step 8

Use a fork and smash the edges of the pumpkins together to seal them. 

Step 9

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are set. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. 

Enjoy!
