Step-By-Step Decorating Instructions
Let’s walk through the exact steps of decorating this spooky sign cookie!
Step 1
Start with a delicious cookie canvas! For today’s cookie, we’re using our Funfetti cutout cookie recipe, which is a year-round favorite, but extra popular with kids! Sometimes I include sprinkles in this cookie but opted not to for this particular cookie. If you do want to include sprinkles, I recommend using jimmie style sprinkles which don’t bleed in your dough!
