Halloween Sugar Cookies

A big shout out to my sister and bhavaji on their 20th anniversary! Can't believe it's been so many years. Their's being the first marriage in our house, I have so many fond memories of their special day. Not only special day, but all the moments leading up to this day after their engagement. May you both have many many many more years of happiness and love together! Happy Anniversary you two. XO

I made these simple sugar cookies for Halloween.. Kids wanted to bake cookies, so I let them do what they wanted. From mixing the dough to cutting and decorating. They loved the whole process. And wanted more cookies than their fair share. I actually don't mind them eating these cookies, since I know exactly what all went in there, rather than the ones from store.
