  • Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Cookies

The Nightmare Before Christmas is an iconic Halloween (Christmas) classic. Sally is one of my favorite characters so I’m so excited to share these adorable Sally cookies with you. I’m always looking for fun Nightmare Before Christmas recipes that are easy for the kids to make. The cookies are made to look like Sally’s patchwork dress and stitching.

My kids love to bake and these cookies are super easy to make and decorate. After you make your sugar cookie dough, divide it into four parts and color the dough, teal, purple, orange, and pink. Chill your dough for half an hour before forming the cookies to look like Sally. This ensures that the dough doesn’t “bleed” or marble together and looks more like the patches on Sally’s dress.

Pinch 2-3 colors together and roll them into a ball. You don’t want to roll them too much, you want the colors to stay separated in the ball. Sally Cookie Balls

After you bake the cookies, let them cool completely before piping on the icing for her stitches. Make sure you follow the lines where the colors meet.

    I am thoroughly enjoying the Hell Bent series. My Demon Hunter was even better than My Funny Demon Valentine. I’m a sucker for demonology stories, and these are filled with all kinds of interesting characters. This one features a plus-si...
