Every holiday I can remember my mother making cut out sugar cookies and decorating them for whatever the season. She especially always made Halloween cookies and I would help her decorate them. Now that I am far from home, I am continuing the tradition on my own. I made a big batch of these cookies to send with my boyfriend to work. Of course I wouldn’t let him take all of them because they are too delicious to give away!
You can really do any shapes sizes, sizes, or colors with this recipe and it’s my go to for a basic sugar cookie. The recipe itself is actually very simple, and contains cream cheese. Really the hardest part about making these cookies is taking the time to decorate them. I myself get a little bit impatient towards the end of decorating, but hey I think they don’t look too shabby. Of course you can take the time to make them look more refined, but I don’t mind the rustic look to the decorations as that shows they are homemade. I decided to go with a bat, ghost, and pumpkin, classic Halloween!
