Monster Eye Sugar Cookies

October 25, 2012 Filed Under: Halloween, Holiday Food, Recipes by 11 Comments

I’m always looking for cute and fun desserts.

Well, last week I was at Wal-Mart and saw these candy eyes in the baking section. I knew I had to use them for something.

Then, I realized they would be super adorable with my Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe!! PERFECT!!

That’s exactly what I decided to do.

Here is how the Monster Eye Sugar Cookies turned out:

Cute and easy right? These candy eyes are bigger than the ones I’ve seen in the baking section (or the Wilton section at Wal-Mart) but they were inexpensive and the perfect touch for these fun cookies. I like them especially because they look like you put a lot more work into them than you actually did, lol!! I LOVE desserts like that.

Here’s the recipe:

 FROSTING:

- 1/3 cup butter (softened)

- 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar

- 1/4 cup milk

- 1/2 tsp. vanilla

- 1/2 tsp. almond extract

- food coloring (I used the neon green gel – worked perfect!!)

DIRECTIONS:

Mix with hand mixer. If too thick, add a tid more milk.

{NOTE: 1 batch of frosting is enough for 2 batches of cookie dough}

These cookies were a hit!! Hope you like them as we much as we did.

ENJOY!
