Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Reshape into log; refrigerate 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F.
  • 2
    For skulls, cut half of dough into 8 slices; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Refrigerate remaining dough until ready to use. At lower third of each cookie, using fingers, create 8 skulls by slightly pressing 1/2 inch in sides of dough, forming jaw of each skull. Using end of wooden spoon, make openings in cookies for eyes and nose. Sprinkle with sugars. Bake as directed on package. Immediately form teeth in jawbone using tines of fork. If needed, make openings bigger for eyes and nose, using table knife. Remove cookies to cooling rack.
  • 3
    For bones, cut remaining dough into 8 slices; shape each to 5 x 1/2 inch. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Using fingers, press each end in slightly to form V. Sprinkle with sugars. Bake as directed on package. Remove to cooling rack. Immediately reshape into bone shape, if needed.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

    To create a cookie on a stick, insert a 1-inch wooden stick into the bottom of each skull cookie before baking.
  • tip 2
    Use a toothpick to draw scary teeth, eyes and a nose.
