Halloween Sugar Cookies

While sugar cookies are usually a Christmas treat Mom and I always have to make a batch for Halloween. Mom loves Red Hots; I put them on as much as possible. They are best if you put them on before you bake them.
  The frosting is milk mixed with powder sugar and food dye. Put powder sugar in a bowl and add a little milk. Continue adding very small amounts of milk until it reaches an almost spreadable consistency. Add food coloring. (It will make it more liquid.) If it's not spreadable at this point add more milk.
  These are ones we made from some new metal cut out shapes we fond on sale at Michaels. Some of the shapes are weird, like the cat that looks more like a chipmunk, or the candy corn (Seriously?). But the price was right and you don't have to worry about them getting stuck like with some of our older one that have a covered back so you have to dig the cookies out if they get stuck. And the bats are cool. 
   You could also use them to make Halloween biscuits. :)
    Here is a recipe for really good Sugar Cookies. There is a link to a printer friendly version at the end.
                                                              Sugar Cookies

1 cup sugar                                              2 cups Flour 
1 stick butter                                           1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg                                                       1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Vanilla
                                                        
 Cream butter and sugar. Add an egg and vanilla. Sift in flour, salt, and baking powder. Chill for an hour. (Hint: leave the dough not being used in the refrigerator. It's easier to work with when cold.) Bake on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Makes two dozen.
