Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    No change.

  • To create a cookie on a stick, insert a 1-inch wooden stick into the bottom of each skull cookie before baking.

  • Use a toothpick to draw scary teeth, eyes and a nose.

Ingredients

  • 1  roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies
  • 1/4  cup all-purpose flour
  • Assorted colored sugars or candy sprinkles, as desired
  • Wooden sticks, if desired

Directions

  1. 1In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until well blended. Reshape into log; refrigerate 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F.
  2. 2For skulls, cut half of dough into 8 slices; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Refrigerate remaining dough until ready to use. At lower third of each cookie, using fingers, create 8 skulls by slightly pressing 1/2 inch in sides of dough, forming jaw of each skull. Using end of wooden spoon, make openings in cookies for eyes and nose. Sprinkle with sugars. Bake as directed on package. Immediately form teeth in jawbone using tines of fork. If needed, make openings bigger for eyes and nose, using table knife. Remove cookies to cooling rack.
  3. 3For bones, cut remaining dough into 8 slices; shape each to 5 x 1/2 inch. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Using fingers, press each end in slightly to form V. Sprinkle with sugars. Bake as directed on package. Remove to cooling rack. Immediately reshape into bone shape, if needed.
