Monster Crinkle Cookies

Soft and sweet monster crinkle cookies that your kids and friends will love! These cookies are an easy Halloween treat that everyone will want to try! You’ll be surprised at how quick this recipe comes together, and is a great one to make with your kids! They’ll have fun rolling the dough in the powdered sugar and sticking the candy eyes into the cookies. My favorite part of these cookies, is how good they make your house smell when they’re baking. They fill your house with a warm vanilla – my favorite scent. They also taste just as good as they smell and look. They really didn’t last long. I could hardly keep the boys’ hands out of them when they came out of the oven. Send these to school with your kiddies for a Halloween treat, or ditch the candy eyes and make them for yourself! You deserve a cookie, or two!
