[dropcap]E[/dropcap]very celebration in my book calls for cookies. It doesn't matter which holiday it is, there's always an invitations for cookies. I mean, are you even in the holiday spirit if you don't have Halloween treats? I think we all grew up waiting for Pillsbury to drop their ready-to-bake Halloween sugar cookie products each fall. What's a Halloween party or Halloween movie without Halloween dessert?
I just want to say, if you've walked into your local grocery store and were able to resist those sugar cookies sitting right in front of store, you're strong. I grabbed a box as soon as they were out. After annihilating a box, I decided it was time to make my own Halloween cookies. If you're ready to try some new Halloween cookies, we've got you covered with some fun DIY Halloween cookie recipes.
