This is such a cute idea. I will definitely try this for Halloween.
I love iced sugar cookies. These are so cute. It’d make a fun treat for the kids to take in to school.
OMG this is such a creative recipe idea – perfect for the kids… cant wait to try it!!!!
I love these ideas!!!
These look so real! What a great Halloween treat idea!
These cookies look like so much fun. I plan on varying the recipe slightly by making one tiny addition-by putting thin, red icing strips on the whites-of-the-eyeballs area, therefore making the eyes look bloodshot and even more scary! Also, I can place two cookies on a place, side-by-side, framing them with licorice strips. Monster eyeglasses!
These cookies are a cute Halloween treat. I have to be honest though, they do not look evil. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I like the cute little eyeballs. I think this will be great in the kid’s eyes.
