This was so fun, Jolene — I love the owl theme, in particular.

Whenever we get together to decorate cookies for holidays, my sister-in-law bakes the sugar cookies (thank god!) so I’m passing this yummy-looking recipe on to her.

I love the owl plates and the inspiration to bake fall cookies, Jolene. These are just beautiful (the plates, the cookies

and the other treats!). So enjoy your stories about watching Chiller Theatre with your friends! We need a few laughs now as life is a little too scary sometimes. Wishing you and yours a happy, not too spooky Halloween!

🎃🦉🍪

I was the biggest Zacherley fan when I was a little kid. Before Chiller Theater he had an afternoon kids show. After Chiller he had a dance show on UHF. Then he was a DJ on FM radio. A very cool dude.

I agree, Kate. I remember listening to him on WNEW-FM Radio. Thanks for mentioning the other shows, I didn’t know, but I will look for them now.

The cookies look amazing, Jolene! I love the dipping idea. I’m picturing white chocolate dipped ghosts... sounds like an excellent excuse to buy new cookie cutters!

I love the owl plates, Jolene! Also, such a great time of year for a sugar cookie recipe--these look perfectly adaptable as Christmas cookies, too :)

Thanks, Sam! Sugar cookies are my favorite for decorating and I’m going to post another that’s a little different as we get into November. Hope you’re well! :)

OMG, Chiller Theater!! When I was a kid, my parents settled the nightly arguments about what we would watch by letting each of us kid control one night a week. When it was my sister's turn, she made us watch CT which terrified me at the time. I'm going to send this to her right now.

Your owl plates are terrific!

Some of those movies were pretty scary and at the Pajama Parties sometimes one kid would want to go home! Hope you’re sister enjoys reading about CT, thanks for telling me about this, Elizabeth! (And thanks about the plates 🦉🧡)
