 These playful and delicious Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O-Lantern
 Cookies are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering, combining
 the fun of seasonal shapes with the rich flavors of spiced cookie and
 milk chocolate!

 Dough:

 In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown
 sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5
 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined. Add
 flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the
 dough forms a ball.

 Roll and Cut the Cookies:

 Generously flour your work surface and divide the dough in half.
 Flatten each half into a disk and roll out the dough to about 1/4"
 thickness.

 Using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the cookies. Transfer
 the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

 For half of the cookies, cut out jack-o-lantern faces using a pairing
 knife or smaller cookie cutter.

 Freeze the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up.

 Bake the Cookies:

 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

 Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 8 to 12 minutes, or until
 lightly golden around the edges.

 Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to
 a wire rack to cool completely.

 Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

 Melt 2 tb of butter in a small pan over medium heat until it turns a
 light golden brown and gives off a toasted aroma, about 2 to 3
 minutes.

 Let cool slightly, then brush over the top of the jack-o-lantern face
 cookies. Dust with cinnamon sugar.

 Assemble the Cookies:

 Spread the melted milk chocolate over the flat (non-face) cookies.

 Gently place the jack-o-lantern face cookies on top of the
 chocolate-covered cookies, pressing slightly to adhere.

 Let the chocolate set before serving.
