Ghost Cookies

These are the cute ghost cookies my mother usually makes every year around Halloween time. She always makes a big batch of them, plenty for the family, and some to send to others too. She used to make enough to send in to everyone in my class at school, and sometimes my brothers' classes too.A few lucky trick-or-treaters, the ones we really knew well, got a ghost cookie too.These cookies also freeze really well, so she can make them ahead of time if need be. They are simply the really tasty sugar cookie recipe she also uses for Christmas cookies. It is an excellent cookie recipe that is just sweet enough, not dry, and not bland. She cuts them with a ghost cookie cutter, bakes them, and cools them. Then she frosts them with a simple white icing, and adds two semi-sweet chocolate chips for the eyes. They are simple, but very cute, and also very tasty. I always look forward to these around Halloween time.
