Spooky Sugar Cookies & Halloween Recipes

We are just about a week from Halloween and these Spooky Sugar Cookies & Halloween Recipes will be a hit for your parties!

It’s not secret around our house, we have a favorite sugar cookie recipe.  This recipe was passed on from my great great aunt’s cookbook collection.  It’s a delicious Old Fashioned Sugar Cookie that is soft and buttery.  I love it because I think it taste great made gluten-free too with a swap of flours.  Of course, my husband reminded me the other day that I haven’t tasted a ‘real’ cookie in 5 years, so I can’t tell a difference anymore.

You know what?  He’s right!  I can’t tell a difference, I’m so used to gluten-free now, it doesn’t phase me at all.  These cookies though are good either way, maybe they do taste a little different with the gluten-free version but it won’t stop you with eating the entire batch!

We make these every season, this time I decided to dip each one in Candy Melts and then add eyeballs to make fun like Spooky Sugar Cookies.  My kids were so excited about these.  This is such a great activity to do with the kids, because they truly do not need to be perfect.  They will look fun regardless of where the eyeballs are placed or how many sprinkles are poured on top.  My kids tend to get carried away with the sprinkles!  They may take after me on that one.

I’m teaming up today to share these tasty cookies along with many other recipes from my blogger friends!  These recipes are sure to impress your friends and family.  I’m already planning to make a few to add to lunches during the month of October.  I love adding little treats to lunches or after school too, it’s always a nice way to say ‘I love you’ to the kids, plus an easy one!
