Petrifying Practice

[noneedofcrepe]

It's forty-eight days until Halloween, and I'm practising a couple recipes this month so I can make ghoulish delights all October. I'm no baker and a sorry excuse for a cook, but when it comes to creepytreats I actually enjoy making them and am therefore determined to become kind of Halloween idiot-savant in the world of cookery.

The cookies look tasty! And ooooh, creepy truffles! They look yummy!

The book sounds cool, enjoy it! :)

This is like a post of adorable yummy creepy things eheheheeee.

My family has been munching on the cookies since I made them, but O the truffles. I'm in that battle of They Look Delicious Omg Want VS They're So Cute I Can't Possibly Bite Into Them And Destroy Them. XD

Those are too cute! I love them!

You should make, if you're ever in a cookie-mood! They're super easy but they look so much fancier than just normal cookies do, so for someone like me who hardly ever bakes anything I'm like POW lookit me, I can make awesome cookies.

How's Baragon doing? :D LOL I swear, soooooo many pets I've had in my lifetime have magically changed genders and needed new names. It's hard to tell, and if someone says girl to you... you just believe them! Once I had a cat I'd named Andrea and when it was revealed she was in fact a he I just took off the A at the end of her name and he was Andre. XD

SI - lmao is it sad these are one of the few times I bake anything the entire year? Halloween is like my season of wanting to make food.

OMG! Hannah! This is the best! Steven loves candy corn...I am so making this!

Dude you totally must, he'll love them! They're the perfect level of sweetness and so adorable. And, if you wrap them up in clear gift bags with ribbon to tie them they are perfect for giving to people. It's my plan this year for people here who don't shun me for my love of Halloween lmao.

The dough takes like two seconds to make, but I DO recommend you get a helper or two for the cutting and baking process. I was going to do it alone and I ended up being like "SO MANY COOKIES SURROUNDING ME, HALP LOL" and getting my sister and my dad to be cutters and sugar-ers. When you're dealing with 15 dozen of anything, even if they're tiny, it's good to have assistance lol.

Also the original recipe is from Land O' Lakes and they call for 2 tablespoons orange juice and 2 teaspoons orange zest, but I left those out because we didn't have oranges at the time. They're yummy and simple without it, but if you like citrus in your cookies I bet that'd be yummy to add too. :D

I'm making these to bring in to work tomorrow, and they're adorable. ^^ Mind if I re-post on my journal?

[noneedofcrepe]

Not at all, go ahead! :) I wish I was in your office tomorrow lol, I'm in midterms week at uni but I am determined to make some more Halloween treats tonight anyway. It's worth it.

Oh and I found them from Land O Lakes where they called for 2 tablespoons orange juice and 2 teaspoons orange zest that I didn't add since I had no oranges, so if you want citrusy cookies you can throw those in there too.

Ugh, I feel your pain; just finished my midterms last week. Good luck on yours!

I ended up adding 2 tbsp of orange juice and 1 tbsp vanilla instead of the orange zest, but thanks for the source!

[noneedofcrepe]

I added extra vanilla to mine too ehehee, I always do to cookies. And thanks, I'm literally in class right now reviewing for a big test on Thursday, DNW. And I've had like a bajillion papers so far. I am so excited for Halloween, it's like my reward after a week of fail.
