Sugar Skull Cookies

Want to whip up a simple batch of sugar cookies for the celebrations? Pshh, please, even sugar cookies are prone to elaborate decoration when it comes to the Day of the Dead! Take inspiration from these El Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skull Cookies from The Sweet Adventures of SugarBelle. Start by cutting your sugar cookies with a skull-shaped cookie cutter and bake until golden, then top them with a base of white icing once they’ve cooled. Then, it’s up to you! Add the skull’s eyes, nose and mouth in whatever colored frosting fits your fancy and then spruce it up with swirls, flowers, curlicues and more for a festive and beautiful Day of the Dead treat!
