1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 rolls fruit-flavored, ring-shaped hard candies
Candy corn
1 (16-ounce) container vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting
Assorted paste or gel icing colors (not liquid food color)
- Freeze cookie dough 30
minutes. Line 3 cookie sheets with foil.
- Heat oven to 350°F.

in sugar. On each cookie sheet, place 6 slices, sugared side
up. Firmly press ring-shaped candies in dough for eyes. Press
candy corn in dough for ears, horns, teeth, beak or mouth to
create desired creature. (Be sure candies do not extend over

or until edges are light golden brown. Cool completely on cookie
sheets, about 25 minutes. Remove cookies from foil.
