Last night I made frosted sugar cookies for Halloween. They turned out great. I liked that I only had to chill the dough for about an hour and not overnight before I rolled them. The kids loved the cookies. Unfortunately the puppy sneaked half of them off the counter this morning. I'm at work now wondering if I'll be coming home to one sick puppy. Thank heavens they weren't chocolate cookies. My daughter is excited about making another batch. Here's a link to the recipes I used. http://food-fun.wisconsinfood.com/edible_antics/2009/10/frosted-sugar-cookies-add-fun-to-childrens-halloween-party-1.html
I'll probably make follow these recipes again when I make Christmas cookies.
