yummy cookies!!! I ate 10 of them already!!! Best recipe ever!!!
Simplest recipe ever! I made these with my grandma and we had a blast. Made us reminisce about old times.
I’m not sure about this. Ghost shapes? Really? Seems a bit silly. 🙄
I tried this recipe but mine turned out too puffy. Maybe I added too much flour? Not sure what went wrong.
I didn’t have a ghost cookie cutter, so I used a star one instead. They still taste great, but they don’t look as spooky. 😄
OMG these are DELICIOUS! I added some chocolate chips and they turned out even better. Definitely making again!
I tried this recipe too! Just like you said, they’re sooo good! Chocolate chips are a great idea!
Not sure about the chocolate chips. Ghost cookies should be ghostly, not chocolatey! What’s next, brown ghosts?
I didn’t have a ghost cutter, so I just used a glass. They still taste great!
Using a glass is a smart move! Who needs a fancy cutter anyway? 🤷♀️
Dis be the best cookie recipe ever!!! I ate 10 in one siting. Gonna make more!!!
These cookies turned out so cute! Perfect for Halloween, my kids loved them! 👻
I found the dough too sticky and it was hard to roll out. Maybe less butter next time?
I thought cookies were supposed to be crunchy? They are kinda soft. Not what I expected!!
These cookies are adorable! Perfect for Halloween. My kids loved making them with me!
That sounds like so much fun! I can’t wait to make these with my kids too! They love Halloween!
Adorable? I dunno, cookies are cookies. I just hope they taste good.
