Mario Ghost Boo Cookies

My husband and I really love old, retro video games that we grew up with as kids. In fact, our wedding cake was a mushroom castle topped with Mario and Peach. So when I found this weird dryer hookup, I knew I had to make some Boo Cookies:

I do have some confessions to make. I didn't have all of the necessary ingredients like butter or a stand mixer for "real" cookies, so improvised with a box mix. I also may have made red icing by mixing white icing with cherry crystal light...  Guess what; they tasted super delicious. Apologies to the purest bakers out there, but damn these cookies were yummy, and also pretty easy. 

I'll post the actual recipe step-by-step in text later this weekend after I finish my (next to last semester YAY!) grad school papers that are due in a few hours. And I'm posting this blog post. I swear I'm not always a procrastinator. (Who am I kidding. I made these cookie procrastinating for finishing homework assignments.) If you want to see how they're made step-by-step along with some pretty awesome graphics and music, check out my youtube video!
