Here's what I did for my cookies, Ladies:
The witches hat = shortbread, striped cookies from the dollar store (yes, that's right, the dollar store) + store bought orange frosting (I just had some on hand, but making it is delicious too. Either way, I'd put it into a plastic bag, cut off a bit of one corner, and squeeze it onto the cookies) + your choice of Hershey Kiss (I had half milk and half dark). Use your frosting as glue and put the two together, just make sure you put enough frosting down that it creates a ring on the outside of the kiss to look like ribbon around a hat.
(I didn't take a picture of mine but I found this online and these are dang close to mine-just more professionally done...photo from http://barbschram.blogspot.com/2009/07/witch-way-justrite-way.html)
Now the home made sugar/short bread candy corn cookies area recipe I got from a BFF here at school. This is her recipe (thanks KT!):
(Short Bread) Sugar Cookies
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
1 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 c. flour (you made need to add up to 1/4 c. more depending on how sticky the dough is...you want it to be sticky but handable)
Cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour. The dough will be VERY soft; don’t worry, it gets firmer after chilling. Cover and chill two hours or until firm. Roll out on floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes and decorate with sugars; place on greased baking sheets (or use parchment paper). Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set (but not browned). Cool 5 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool.
Now, using this recipe I followed the instructions on this website, ourbestbites.com (which is also where I got the picture below).
Enjoy!
