I love Halloween!! Each year I get unnaturally excited over spooky recipes, Halloween costumes, and ghastly makeup! Facebook always reminds me of my previous year's efforts. These reminders spur me on to keep up my tradition of going a little crazy at Halloween.

Although I get really excited, I'm not the most creatively gifted person in the world. So I tend to rely on treats which are really easy to produce. 

These cookie eyeballs are an absolute cinch! The cookie is my no-fail sugar cookie recipe which I have been making for years. It's sweet and the perfect canvas for decorating with the royal icing. Then simply use the royal icing like glue, and stick the eyeball lolly onto the cookie. Voila, one disgusting delicious eyeball cookie complete!

Step by Step Sugar Cookie Eyeballs

For the is the recipe you will need:

  • my no-fail sugar cookie dough recipe, see below.
  • royal icing (recipe link to follow)
  • a bag of "body parts" wrapped candy. This is usually available at Big w or discount stores during Halloween each year. 
  • Thermomix Piping bag and tip set or equivalent.
