Halloween Sugar Monster Cookies

My wife needed something for a baked goods fundraiser, and, as kids don't pine for infusions of basil or balsamic caramels, I came up with this. It's a firm but chewy sugar drop cookie in sugar sprinkles and decorated with candy eyes for monstrous effect. Had to make a couple recipes as my little monsters were ferociously devouring the sugar monsters with reckless abandon, and we needed 3 dozen for the sale. Scales well.
