Halloween was always my favorite holiday as a kid. Since my birthday is 12/22, I always sort of had some competition with Christmas. And besides, no other holiday lets you dress up in wacky costumes-- or eat as much junk food!
Each Halloween, I strived to come up with further irreverent and obscure costumes. I think I peaked in the 6th grade when I went as a stick of gum. At one point, I went as Medusa (complete with glow in the dark snakes in my hair– I think this was in high school) and an excellent Wicked Witch of the West, which I think was 8th grade.
So, I decided to break out my decorating tools and make some cookies to bring in the Halloween spirit. This year, I’m going to a Halloween/housewarming party that is SNL-character themed. My mother can attest that I have looooong been a fan of SNL, and I hope friends can recognize characters if I break out some obscure Gilda Radnor reference that existed before my birth.
The sugar cookie recipe comes from the now-dufunct Martha Stewart Omnimedia magazine, Blueprint. It was an excellent Martha title, aimed at younger professional women. The art styling was excellent– I wish it still had an outlet online.
