Halloween is just around the corner and we were asked to share this Abuelita Sugar Skull Cookies recipe with all of you. The recipe is courtesy of the NESCAFÉ Café de Olla and NESTLÉ Abuelita brands. I personally think they are adorable looking and would be the perfect cookie to make for our upcoming Halloween party. Don't you? Here is the recipe!
