In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Place the milk chocolate chips or chunks in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk.
Place a small spoonful of melted milk chocolate in the center of the disk.
Top with another disk of cookie dough and seal the edges to completely encase the chocolate.
Shape the cookies into a round form and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Decorate with orange icing to create jack-o-lantern faces and use black icing to add details like eyes, noses, and mouths.
Enjoy these fun and festive cookies with a glass of milk or as a sweet treat for Halloween parties!
