I had to delurk and say those are hella cute. I’m not even real into the whole skull n crossbones thing, and those still had me at hello.

Yummy and cute. Chiara and I enjoyed our cat cookie thoroughly. You rule the baking world!
I have no patience for baking!

OOOOOOH!

how neat! I really want some cookies right now, thanks MiHow.

But I’d want to decorate them more than actually make them.

As my dozens of burned and shameful baking adventures will protest, baking isn’t exactly my forte.

So I stick to decorating

Thanks Michele! Sounds like the pefect balance of softness, I will have to give the recipe a try.

Michelle: They are sort of in between but more on the softer side. Put it this way: they stand up pretty well (even dipping them upside down into the batter). They don’t break. But there is no real snap to them. So… I guess they’re in between?

I am always on the lookout for a new sugar cookie recipe too! Are these cookies soft after baking or crunchy?

These are adorable.

I also love Halloween and every year I make a huge batch of cookies similar to this to give away to friends and family. Of course, I do not yet own such a fabulous skull and crossbones cookie cutter, therefore my life is incomplete. Covet!

Good suggestion on the almond extract. I always use a little bit to add some oomf to the icing no matter what the season . I love the idea of using zests too!

These make me want to add a skull cookie cutter to my already-too-extensive cookie cutter collection. Fantastic!

I saw the picture of these on TJ’s twitter and thought they were AMAZING. You should open a sweet shop. These are fantastic.

These look awesome! I might have to make them! I usually hate working with powdered sugar to make cookie icing but you make it sound easy.
