Happy Halloween!

This blog post is dedicated to all things SPOOKY. I have to be honest...I miss trick or treating. I know I could just go to the store and buy some candy for myself (which I knew do) but something about dressing up and running around the neighbor is just more glamourous.

Cute Little Fox Cookies

The good news for the Trick or Treaters is it luckily stopped raining. This morning it was down pouring and didn't look like it was going to stop. I took my dog out for a walk before dinner and before it got dark. I was hoping to spot some kids and I did but they were more like big kids...like junior high and they were barely dressed up...maybe they were just "hipsters" hanging in the park...could be - it was getting dark after all...just kidding they were kids. 

Cat Face Cookie

I remember I milked trick or treating until I was in high school and some people would come to the door and be surprised by the "big kids" standing there and not the little guys. One lady I remember even said "oh aren't you a little big to be trick or treating" ...yes but give me the candy anyways please! 

OK OK Enough about me...more about the cookies you say? Well let's start with the above few. I found a clever idea to turn my cat face cookie cutter into a fox face. I know foxes aren't really Halloween themed necessarily but they are definitely fall-ish and so I decided to try it out and I loved them. If you don't know I have a little dog who looks like a fox...

As for Mr. Frank, that cookie cutter is actually using the "skull" head shape. I thought it would be cutter to mix some green into the mix! Loved how these Frankenstein cookies turned out and they might be my favorite!

I actually didn't have a witches hat cookie cutter. So I ran out to the store the night before halloween to find some black sanding sugar which was a bit of a challenge but found it and got the last one! At the store they had a bunch of cute cutter and one being the witches hat!

I got the idea for the spider webs off of pinterest as well. I am always looking for fun ways to turn my cutters I already have into a different shape (like the cat-fox above) a circle could really be turned into anything and for Halloween it was perfect for some creepy spider cob webs!

Pumpkin Cookies

Of course it isn't halloween without pumpkins! 

BOOOOooooo

The other shape I had I had fun with was the bat. This was the purpose of the "mission: black sanding sugar." I liked how these little guys turned out and looked great with the spooky ghost and coffin.

RIP Coffin Cookies

The last little cutter I picked up at the store was the "scared-y cat" as I call him. Again, using that coveted black sanding sugar! muahaha! I mean...MEOW! 

I almost forgot to put this in my blog. I am really bad about transferring photos from my phone to my computer, but I posted this on my insta too. I loved the monotone contrast of this picture of the skull and cross bone cookies. VERY halloween. 

ok ok and it wouldn't be completely halloween if I didn't do a little flashback friday shout out to my friends for "that one time when we dressed up as 80s chicks after a run to the goodwill to make our costumes" and then we went trick or treating! I think we were actually sophomores in this picture...or were we juniors...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
