Halloween is the time when you can really go out of your way decorating things. Your house, car, food, kids or anything else you can think of are all open for some spooky modifications. Baking and decorating these festive treats can liven up any family activity or children's Halloween party.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Groceries
  • Cookie sheets
  • Halloween Baking Supplies
  • Rolling Pins
  • Cookie Cutters
  • assorted candies
  • colored frostings
  • sugar cookie dough

Step1
Find your favorite sugar cookie recipe and make the dough as directed.
Step2
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
Step3
Cut out cookies with Halloween cookie cutters: pumpkins, witches, ghosts, bats, broomsticks and so forth. If you do not have Halloween cookie cutters, use a basic round cutter to make cookies that can be decorated as pumpkins or faces.
Step4
Bake the cookies as directed and let cool.
Step5
Decorate the cookies using colored frosting, candy corn (great for a jack-o'-lantern face), thin licorice strings, jelly beans, shredded coconut or an assortment of cake-decorating candies.

Tips & Warnings

  • Buy refrigerated sugar cookie dough instead of making it from scratch.
  • Instead of sugar cookies, use Rice Krispies treats molded into balls and decorated, or decorate popcorn balls.
