SITS Halloween Party Day 2!

Today is day 2 of the SITS Halloween Party! Yesterday was all about favorite Halloween memories and today is all about Halloween Crafts. Now, I don't claim to be a crafty person, but I love to bake and that's where I get "crafty". I found this great recipe on Nick Jr. for pumpkin cookies that look like spiderwebs.


Cute right? Minus the fact that I forgot to get a piping tip for the black frosting so I had to free hand it.

Here's the recipe:

You need:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 can vanilla frosting
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • Black frosting tubes
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • toothpicks

What to do:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Measure the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl
  • With a big spoon, cream the shortening, sugar, and pumpkin purée in a separate bowl. Add the egg and mix it in
  • Sift in the dry ingredients and mix everything thoroughly with the spoon
  • Drop heaping spoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes
  • When cooled, ice cookies with frosting.
  • Use the black frosting tubes to draw concentric circles on each.
  • Use a toothpick to pull the black frosting out from the center (like spokes of a wheel)



Be sure to head over to SITS today to see all of the other crafts and play along with the Halloween party!

Those cookies turned out great even if you didn't have tips!
