Here are some of the kid's cookies, upper right is a gingerbread man bleeding from multiple stab wounds, below that is a Death Snowflake, the candy corn being it's death ray and the skulls and tombstone representing the number of planets it has destroyed. At the very bottom with a candy corn tie is a mobster snowman, and above him is a vampire snowbat with candy corn fangs. They might taste like minty crap, but those candy corns sure are versatile.
Second word of advice, less is more when it comes to color.
I like the Creepmas garland, but I should have made it with fewer colors.
This was going to be a Yeti and somehow it ended up as an angry Yule goat.
I think I need more of these next year too.
And more unicorn snowbat creatures, with bone arms.
I thought these bats were cute too.
And just to play fair I made holly with a bat cookie.
It would probably look more like holly if I had bothered to make green frosting.

I used my usual recipe for the cookies and frosting. I don't believe I've ever made buttercream frosting in advance, but time constraints necessitated it this year. I just let it come to room temp and whipped it again before using. It was kind of nice not having the mess of making frosting on top of the mess of decorating cookies, I don't know why I've never done this before.
Another thing I liked this year, and maybe this has been around for a while and I'm just finally noticing, was the little $1 packets of holiday sprinkles at Michaels. It was nice buying a variety of holiday cheer in reasonable amounts that will get used up in the next two years.
I think your cookies are delightful. I especially like the little tree and do not think it has too many colors. I agree about the little bags of sprinkles from Michaels. They were awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it’s always so much fun to decorate Creepmas cookies. I didn’t notice if they had little packets for Halloween, but I hope that’s becoming a trend. I don’t decorate enough to want those big containers.
