Raise your hand if you spend the entire month of October baking spooky, fun Halloween treats. We're making themed goodies for the next two weeks, and we are starting with these Halloween sugar cookie monsters.
In a mixing bowl, beat butter with a mixer until creamy, then blend in egg. Slowly add the dry mix and blend until incorporated.
Separate dough into thirds and place in individual bowls. Use a toothpick to add in gel food dye to each dough ball. Mix until dough is evenly colored.
Gather each dough ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes, or until dough is firm.
Remove dough from freezer. Form dough into tablespoon size balls and place cookies 2" apart on parchment lined or ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Place 3-5 candy eyeballs on each cookie while warm. Enjoy!
