These Sugar Cookie Eyeballs are easy to make using pre-made dough. Press the dough into mini-muffin cups, bake, then fill with white candy melts and top with green M&Ms. Add a black icing pupil for a creepy effect.
Ingredients
Directions
- Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Slice a 16.5-ounce tube of sugar cookie dough into 6 even rounds, then cut each round into 4 pieces. Place one piece into each mini-muffin cup and press down to form a small well.
- Bake at 350°F until the cookies are set, about 12 minutes. Let them cool completely, then spoon melted white candy melts into each indentation. Top each with a green M&M, and use black icing to draw a pupil on each candy melt.
