Sugar Cookies!!!!!

I love the idea of decorated sugar cookies for the holidays! Usually Halloween doesn't count on my list of "holidays" but when I came across this recipe for cute sugar cookie cutouts, I couldn't resist making them for our lifegroup fall party! Annie's Good Eats always has fun and tasty recipes, so I knew I couldn't go wrong! Visit her website for the step by step guide on ingredients recipes!

I will say that this was very time consuming and can be very pricey if you don't have many decorating tools on hand! I already had color gels and decorating tips and bags, so I purchased meringue powder ($5.29) and squirt bottles (.89 cents each). I did pick up an extra gel color which was $1.99! Also make sure you have plenty of confectioners sugar lying around, you'll need 4 cups per icing batch.

Overall, I was really excited that they turned out pretty, and tasty too! And my helper was super cute as well!
