Tips:

Did you know that if you flip your ghost-shaped cookie cutter upside down, you can turn it into Santa, beard, hat, and all? A cupcake-shaped cookie cutter can become a box of popcorn! Experiment with different shapes for different occasions.

Don’t forget your decorations! Change up your icing colors too.
