These decorated Halloween sugar cookies start out with the SOFTEST scratch-made sugar cookie dough (a bakery recipe) and creamy, flavorful vanilla buttercream.
Use tiny and offset spatulas to help smooth your buttercream icing like for this Halloween skeleton cookie. Buttercream may not be as crisp as royal icing, but it tastes SO much better!
The buttercream frosting uses dry milk powder and pure vanilla to make a flavorful, stable buttercream that tastes delicious and can stay at room temperature.
