Spooky Sweet Treats

These witches, ghosts, bats and spiders bake up perfectly with this easy-to-roll-out sugar-cookie dough. And don't let the decorating scare you: Our instructions won't leave you in the dark.

1. To tint: Put a small amount of paste food color on a toothpick and stir into white icing until blended well.

2. To decorate: Thin icing with a little water until spreadable. Paint cookies with thinned icing; let dry 20 minutes.

3. Spoon colored or white icing into a pastry bag fitted with a #2 round tip. Decoratively pipe cookies as desired.
