Another New Holiday Tradition

So for several holidays the last year or so I've been buying pre-cut sugar cookies from Macey's that come with frosting pouches and sprinkles. The boys have had fun doing them and it makes a great family activity. Unfortunately, they're not super tasty. So, last Easter I tried a form pan that had Easter shapes and I just put cookie dough into it. They were a little too thick, so that wasn't going to work either. I like to use the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and after that last attempt I noticed that they had separate instructions for cut out cookies. So, this Halloween I bought some Halloween cookie cutters and made some cookies using the cut out recipe. They turned out great.

I bought some vanilla frosting and divided a small amount into three bowls and colored them Halloween-ish colors. The frosting was really good. I also got some frosting cans in black and white for borders and things. That frosting wasn't very good, but it wasn't used as much as the other frosting so it was okay.


The boys would decorate a cookie and then immediately eat it. So after one or two cookies they started to wander away. Once they realized that they didn't have to eat them all now and that we could save them for later they got into it and had fun.


I think they turned out great and they were so tasty!
