Candy Corn Sugar Cookies & Mummy Dogs

I know Halloween's come and gone, but I still wanted to share these. We had our usual family dinner on Sunday, but we put a Halloween twist on it. All night long people kept pulling out all sorts of Halloween inspired food creations. We ate a LOT! Here's what I contributed:


Candy Corn Sugar Cookies
1 batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough
yellow and orange food coloring
butter cream frosting

Divide your cookie dough into thirds. Color 1/3 yellow and 1/3 orange. Divide each 1/3 in 1/2, so you have 6 dough balls in all. Chill in fridge for 1-2 hours. When chilled roll each dough ball into a rectangle approximately 9inx4in (doesn't need to be perfect)
Using a pizza cutter, cut each rectangle into thirds lengthwise making 3 long strips.
Place 1 strip yellow, 1 strip orange, and 1 strip white together and press seams together with your finger. (again doesn't have to be perfect)
Using a sharp knife, (I used the edge of a large, thin metal spatula) cut dough into triangles and place on to a cookie sheet.
Bake 6-8 minutes at 350

Make your frosting, color 1/3 yellow, 1/3 orange. Put each color in a plastic baggy, cut a small hole in the corner and go to town.

Sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't bad at all. And if you want to see some step-by-step pictures click here




Mummy Dogs
1 package little smokies
2 rolls crescent dough like pillsbury

Unroll crescent dough but do not separate into triangles. Using a pizza cutter cut crescent dough into strips. Roll each little smokie up into a strip of dough and bake according to crescent roll package directions. Use mustard for the eyes.
