Vampire Cookies

For those who follow along on my blog or my Twitter feed, you know that I recently had to buy a new AC/heat unit for my house. And for anyone who has had to do this, you know just how expensive it is. I mean really, really expensive!!! I've had to tighten the purse strings a lot, which has forced me to give up some things that I really didn't want to give up. One of those things is HBO and True Blood. :(

It pains me to know that the new season starts Sunday and I won't be watching it. But, for those of you who are counting down the minutes to the new season, I thought I'd share a simple and fun vampire recipe to get you in the mood for some Bon Temps vampire fun!

Materials 
Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix

Wilton red decorating icing

Lip shaped cookie cutter

Good and Plenty (white)
Toothpick

Directions

1. Mix sugar cookies according to directions for cutout cookies.

2. Roll dough until 1/4 inch thick. 

3. Cut cookies with lip shaped cookie cutter and place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

4. Cook sugar cookies according to directions for cutout cookies.

5. Let cookies cool completely then cover with red icing.

6. Using a toothpick, draw a line through the red icing to separate the top and bottom lip.

7. Place two white Good and Plenty candies (the fangs) under the toothpick line.

There you have it! I think even Eric and Bill would enjoy one of these. :)
