Skeletons and Ghosts

I had so much fun baking Halloween goodies this year. I made chocolate sugar cookies for Travis to take to a work potluck. I did both skeletons and ghosts, then I did the skeletons again for his family party on Halloween. It had been forever since I'd had these cookies, one my my grandma's recipes, and they were delicious!
