Okay I know the recipe title is a little long, but trust me you need all of those parts to make these cookies be what they are.

The dough looks good, but it wasn’t my favorite dough to eat…which I am thinking is probably a good thing!

Great for a Halloween party!

Freezing and sharing is a must with these, unless you want to eat all of them in one day…which is okay too!
