Halloween Cookies 2012

Here are all the fun Halloween Cookies I was able to do this year.  I’m so happy to report that these cookies won th Sweet of the Month contest on Sweetopia.  Thanks to all those who voted.  For more pictures of the Hello Kitty Halloween Cookies look here.

To see more of our 2012 Halloween Cookies keep reading.

Then there were the Jack Skellington cookies.  My sister Cathy loves this movie so I made these for her Halloween party.  You can read about how to make these Nightmare before Christmas cookies here.

Here are some cute pumpkin cookies I made with some friends who came over to learn how to decorate cookies.  I think they all think I’m loosing my mind.

Here are some simple silhouette cookies that I made following a design off of ribbon.

Here are some more pumpkin cookies I did that day.  This was more of an exercise in layering icing and texture.

These cookies were made using a tutorial found on one of my favorite sites, sweetopia.

Here are some cute bat cookies I made with the kids.  We decided the eyebrows were a bit much.

My kids made all of these cookies.  They have had so much fun with this craft.  I love the little zombie coming out of the grave.

It has been one year since we started playing around with royal icing.  My advice for someone starting out would be to spend lots and lots of time preparing the royal icing.  If the icing is right decorating sugar cookies this way can be really fun!

Happy Halloween.  It’s 5:45, I am out of powdered sugar but I’m dying to make one last batch of sugar cookies!  We shall see…
