Monster Sugar Cookies
We had entirely too much fun making these tonight!!! Halloween is creeping around the corner and I have been testing some scary and spooky snacks on the kids. Tonight was these Monster Sugar Cookies. They won me over because they are super simple! They won the kids over because they are AWESOME!! They won my hubby over because they are delicious! Wins all around.
You make this simple drop sugar cookie recipe and add the food coloring of your choice. We did Purple for the girls and the Green ones for my son are gluten free. I found the eyeball candies at my local store, but you can also make them. I have a tutorial coming up soon! 😉
Quick note: Add the eyes after they are done baking. We may have learned the hard way that they sink into the cookie and look even creepier if you add them before. LOL
