Halloween Sugar Cookies

Dad’s plate of unfrosted sugar cookies. Had a little frosting left so spread it thin.

I only ate 2 while Mom and I decorated. Mom did not sample but she said they smell so good! I followed my sister Wendy’s recipe which is written at the front of the Lutheran Ladies Cookbook, compiled around 1989.

Hope you are having a spooky Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

On my to do list for yesterday was taking photos of the swap cards from the September Fall Fling Demonstrator Gathering I coordinate. I had fun walking around Mom and Dad’s house finding different textures and colors for the backgrounds for these photos. You will enjoy these photos in the coming weeks since there are about 50 designs to share.

M and D’s house is fully decorated for Halloween. So when Mom suggested I use these creatures in my photos, I told her I had already shared these designs on my blog so I did not need to retake the photos.

Well, we retook the photos and here they are! The books make fun props too.

We did not get to making the spooky sugar cookies at the time I wrote this post. It was on my to do list for Halloween Eve. So, I’ll share those photos after we bake and decorate them on Halloween.

Have a spooky fun day!
