The weekend after Halloween is when we will be having our party. I decided I wanted to make some cookies for it... but... I keep forgetting to pester mom for the sugar cookie recipe I grew up with and everything else is just... annoying. But I came across this one...

and it sounded good. (I'm a sucker for spices)
And I must admit - it has excellent flavor. Not too sweet - just right on spices.
BUT.....
Jesster says they are crunchy. He loves them.
I think they are just hard. I am not so fond.
I do intend to use the spice mix from it on mom's sugar cookies.
(They are the color they are because I added some black food coloring to the mix after creaming the butter and sugar.
The icing is from:

Though I replaced the syrup with honey.
I am going to try again with the modified old recipe... but may end up just making gingerbread bats and webs. Possibly some pumpkins as well ^_^
