With Halloween just around the corner, we’re all getting into the spirit! We’re headed to the pumpkin patch this weekend and next week we’re putting the finishing touches on our costumes. While we’re still waiting to buy some candy {in the hopes of still having some left on Halloween night}, I’ve been making some yummy Halloween-themed treats to celebrate one of our favorite holidays!
These Mummy Cookies are so easy to make and even easy to decorate. You don’t need to be a professional baker to have delicious, adorable Halloween cookies- just a few ingredients and supplies!
