I'm having a Halloween party this year! I haven't invited anyone, but I've started planning! My very first little holiday themed dinner party extravaganza! I figured I better start practicing making spooky halloween sugar cookies so they would be awesome for Halloween.

Super Creepy! I know. Don't worry that is just a little plastic spider. I started decorating my table last night with sheer spiderweb fabric as a tablecloth and had to really pimp it out with these creepy black spiders. halloween pumpkins, ghosts, sugar cookies
 So here are my little spider web, pumpkin, ghost sugar cookies. I originally found this awesome idea from Sweetopia. Her's are a lot more polished then mine. But I'm pretty happy with my first time around (and only having tried to decorate cookies nice a few times prior). Then a great step by step picture from Bake at 650.
