Hello Kitty Skeleton Cookies

This is my last batch of Halloween cookies - really! I had leftover cookie dough & leftover icing sitting in my fridge just calling to me. And, I had a brand spankin' new set of Hello Kitty cutters just begging to be used. I saw some fun HK Halloween cookies floating around the web, so I thought I'd give them a shot. This is my take on Hello Kitty Skeleton cookies.

Halloween cookies are done!

I can't do math in my head. If I could, I may have said "no" to one or two orders of Halloween cookies. I had five customers who wanted cookies. In my head that equaled 5 dozen cookies - no prob. In actuality, when I went through the orders in my head, four of those five people wanted two dozen cookies. That equals nine dozen. Oops. Good thing I realized that before making the cookies. But really, who could I have said no to? Four dozen go to my boys' school classes, two dozen are for my Mom's work, two dozen are for my cousin's work and one dozen is for a neighbor. I started the cookies on Monday and finished them today. Not bad, time-wise. And I didn't have to spend 12 hours a day making them either. (So glad I didn't do the Dia de los Muertos cookies for the boys' classes!) 

I made some minor changes to a couple of the designs, and added a fifth character to the lineup. I still like the skeleton best.

This is what eleven and a half dozen cookies looks like:

Yes, you read that right. Eleven and a half dozen. I ended up making some for my hubby's work too. Ain't he lucky?

Square Pumpkin, and others...

I thought I was done with Halloween cookies, but then I found these cute napkins at Hobby Lobby and just had to make cookies out of them.

I need to get some better icing tips for the details, really. But I think they are cute!

Dia de los Muertos

I have been seeing sugar skulls and cookies all over the web as Halloween approaches. I have wanted to try making some, so I did today. I based my design off an amazing needlework pattern I found here. Mine is a simplified version, of course, but still a lot of detail!

More Halloween Cookies

I made some cookies this week just for my kids. I wanted to try out some new Halloween designs, and our cookie jar only had two half-decorated cookies in it. Two - that isn't even enough for one each. So sad. So, here you go, some new Halloween designs.

 These are all made with my skull cookie cutter.

 The skeleton idea is all over the web, but I thought I'd give it a shot. The mummy was inspired by another cookier, but I can't remember where I found them!

School Fundraiser cookies

My boys' school is having a safety fair and fundraiser tomorrow night. My cookies sold really well last year, so I volunteered to make more for the bake sale this year. I ended up making 4 dozen cookies. 

Inspiration came from the following:

Spiderman cookies (with tutorial)

Erlenmeyer flasks

Cauldrons

Monster Cookies

I did these cookies for my son's Halloween party at school. I saw them here first. They are based off some Halloween gear from Target.
