Jack O Lantern Cookies are so good you could eat the whole batch! They are so cute and colorful, and they’re really fun to make. You could serve these at a Costume party, or brighten up a buffet table for Halloween Dinner.
They’re made with a sweet sugar cookie dough, that’s a little chewy, and has just the right amount of crunch, with Vanilla flavored Frosting, and sprinkles. No matter what age, everyone is going to love these!
I love putting these adorable cookies into clear bags and tying them with orange and black ribbon and giving them out as gifts to friends and family!
These are great for bake sales, functions, Halloween parties or just as an amazing dessert the kids will be excited to help decorate and eat!
They are not only easy to make, but they are fun to decorate and the taste is incredible!
