My daughter has been waking up at 5am this week, which is fun, because then we can bond while I'm super grumpy. She also knows what "Mama, Coffee, HOT" means, so there's that. And I've had a chance to get my blog posts up on the early side. Morning Celebration! Anyways, remember these Mini Candy Corn Sugar Cookies? I've been pretty obsessed with the recipe since discovering it. The dough comes together in a matter of minutes (I usually double it), it's easy to work with, it freezes well, and the creative possibilities are endless (think every holiday). This go around, I added a small amount of green food coloring to the dough before adding the flour, and then topped each baked cookie with eyeball sprinkles. Jack and I wanted to make faces on a few of them, so we melted chocolate chips and used a plastic baggie with the end snipped off to create silly, scary monsters...
Ok those aren't scary at all. Can you believe Halloween is less than a week away? Good thing my son has 3 costumes he can't decide between! If you feel like getting festive and domestic this weekend, check out the homemade candy I've made in the past. And don't forget these Butterfingers!
Weekend!
