Soft sugar cookies topped with frosting and “creepy crawly” gummy worms! Great for a Halloween party, too.

Sometimes Sofie and I like to just bake something for fun. She wanted to decorate cookies a couple weeks ago so I said let’s make some Halloween Cookies! She was all for it. So we just used a roll of sugar cookie dough and store bought frosting for something easy. I got out all of the candies and sprinkles and let her have fun with them. Of course she got a little crazy with the sprinkles and really just wanted to eat one. But either way it was a good kids baking activity.
