spatula, transfer cookies to ungreased baking sheets. Place lollipop stick
if desired, under each cookie, leaving about 2 " protruding from bottom of
cookie. Press dough lightly into lollipop stick. Repeat with remaining

Bake 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Transfer cookies to wire racks and
cool completely.
Add a few drops of food coloring to about half of vanilla frosting,
stirring until frosting is orange.
Spread about half the cookies with vanilla frosting, leaving some of the
cookies plain and dipping others into orange sugar crystals. Outline
cookies with brown or orange decorating gel. Draw a face and the word " Boo
" on each cookie. Lollipop sticks can be found at party and craft stores.
