Halloween Sugar Cookies

If you read my Fall Bucket list post you saw that one of those items were making Halloween cookies! This is one of Sawyer’s favorite activities. It’s pretty messy but it’s worth it. I usually let her pour the ingredients and I always crack the eggs. Because, well, gross. For the cookies I always buy the Betty Crocker mix and we found these really cute pumpkin and ghost cookie cutters at Target. My favorite part of sugar cookies is the frosting. I like to do homemade frosting because if I use the store bought frosting it tends to be so sugary my teeth hurt. I like to add some food coloring to the frosting and only needed to use orange this time around because the recipe for homemade frosting is a white color when finished. Finished off the cookies with eye ball candies!

Frosting Recipe:

1 Cup Powder Suger

2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup

2 Tablespoons of Milk*

1/4 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

*Keep adding a little milk until you get the consistency you like.
