Let's Make Pumpkins & Ghosts Icing Sheet Cookies!
These cookies are a choose-your-own-adventure for decorating! Attach the icing sheets to frosted cookies and stop there for adorable ghosties and pretty pumpkins for Halloween or Thanksgiving. Alternatively stencil Jack O'lantern faces on the pumpkins OR let your favorite mini ghouls draw their own Jack O'lantern Faces on the pumpkins for a fun, easy, and not one bit messy, Halloweeny activity for all ages! Know how the ECG knows? She just happened to have a blast decorating these with one of the neighbor kids (see video for a rising star in the cookie world, Piper.) We've got a full tutorial for these on chocolate covered Oreos & Nutter Butters too right here!
But enough talking...check out the highlight reel! AND don't forget, the Full in Kitchen Tutorial is available below.
Let's start with the cookies. Scroll down to get the BEST sugar cookie recipe in existence. Then, dip them in Shiny Cookie Icing (video & recipe below), aim a box fan at them and let them dry for 6 hours or overnight (or if you're super fancy, throw them in a food dehydrator for about a half hour) to set up the top of the icing and you're ready to do all the fun stuff!
Shiny Cookie Icing sets up with a nice top crust, but remains soft underneath, so your cookies can be stacked and packaged without damage and eaten without risk of dental damage! For advanced cookiers, you can thicken up a portion of the icing to pipe around the edges of the cookies and flood them with the more liquid icing (just like you would with Royal Icing) but the ECG prefers to simply dip the cookies to speed up the process and get to the fun part faster...watch:
Since she's not the Evil Cookie Genius, she won't lecture you on how to do cookies BUT she has made a few hundred batches in her lifetime, so take a look at the video for some useful cookie hacks (like thost acrylic rolling guides for perfect 1/4" cookie thickness) and more! And if you don't already have a favorite sugar cookie recipe...this one is the absolute best out there, for reals...
