This special Mexican holiday is celebrated throughout the US too. More traditionally, it’s a special holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. In honor of this year’s Dia De Los Muertos, we made cookies! Take a look at how you can make shimmer skulls, roses and a signature plaque cookie.
