Halloween Cookies
The most delicious sugar cookies which are decorated with icing for a spooky and delicious Halloween treat.
Ingredients
- 2 stick butter (if using salted, skip the salt)
- ⅓ c sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 ½ c flour all purpose (plain)
- 3 c confectioner's sugar (icing sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C)
- Cream the butter and sugar until it comes together.
- Add the egg and mix well.
- Next add the flour until it forms a crumbly consistency.
- Turn onto a floured surface and work it into a smooth dough gently, but do not overwork the dough.
- Roll out quite thinly (about 1/8") and cut into rounds with a cookie cutter.
- Place on lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes (I turn them once through baking).
- Remove and place on cooling rack.
DECORATE COOKIES
- Mix the confectioner's sugar with a spoonful of water at a time until it becomes the right consistency to decorate (like glue.)
- Add colors as desired then decorate the cookies using the photos as inspiration.
Notes
- Be sure cookies are completely cooled before decorating.
- Allow icing to set before putting them away or packaging. I like to leave them overnight for best results.
