FOR THE COOKIES:

2 whole Eggs
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 box White Cake Mix, 18 To 20 Ounce Size
1 drop Yellow Food Coloring, More If Needed

1
You'll need two baking sheets, either lined with a silicone mat or left un-greased.
2
For the cookies:
3
Cream butter in a large bowl. Add eggs, oil and vanilla. Mix for 30 seconds. Add in the cake mix. Mix, pausing to scrape down sides of the bowl, and continue until well combined. Divide batter into two bowls.
4
Starting with 1 drop, add enough food color into each bowl to reach the shade you desire. Tint one bowl yellow, and the other green. Chill dough for 30 minutes. After 20 minutes have passed, preheat your oven to 350u00b0F.
5
While the cookie dough is chilling, get out 20 yogurt covered raisins or peanuts. Using the black food marker, color a small dot in the center of each candy. Using the red food marker, draw squiggly lines, leading away from the center dot, like in bloodshot eyes. Set the completed candies aside. See photo or related blog link for more visuals.
6
Pour the cup of white sugar into a wide, shallow dish. Using either a tablespoon or a scooper of that size, scoop balls of cookie dough and drop into the sugar. Roll the dough balls to coat and place them 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet.
7
Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until done. Remove pans from oven and set on a rack. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 2 minutes. Then remove them to a tray and push one decorated candy piece into the center of each cookie. Do not try to move candies once they have been pushed into the cookies. Let the cookies continue to cool for an additional 5 minutes. Using the tube of red decorating gel, add some bloodshot eye veins to each cookie. Start at the edge of the candy center and squeeze a zig-zag line out to the cookie edge.

Place finished Zombie Eyeball Cookies on a decorative tray and goblin them up!
