The Secret Ingredient
One of the key aspects of the Pillsbury Halloween sugar cookie recipe is the use of cake mix in the dough. This gives the cookies a soft and chewy texture, making them the perfect base for decorating. To recreate this at home, simply substitute a box of yellow cake mix for some of the flour in your favorite sugar cookie recipe. This will not only add a fun flavor to your cookies, but it will also save you time measuring out multiple ingredients.
Get Creative with Your Cutouts
One of the most fun parts of making Halloween sugar cookies is cutting them out into spooky shapes. While the Pillsbury recipe suggests using ghost and pumpkin cookie cutters, why not get creative and try some different shapes? Use witch hat or bat-shaped cutters for a witchy twist, or try spider and web-shaped cutters for a creepy crawly vibe. The possibilities are endless, so have fun experimenting with different shapes and sizes.
Go Wild with the Icing
The final step in creating your own copycat Pillsbury Halloween sugar cookies is the icing. While the original recipe calls for a simple white icing, why not take it to the next level with some orange, green, and black food coloring? You can create intricate designs and patterns with different colors, or simply drizzle them over the cookies for a fun and festive look. And don't forget to add some spooky sprinkles for an extra touch of Halloween magic.

Whether you're making them for a Halloween party or just as a fun activity with your loved ones, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
