How to Decorate Halloween Cookies
1. Use ghost and pumpkin cookie cutters to bake the cookies.
2. Color the white fondant orange.
Mix in a little food coloring and knead the fondant until the color is distributed evenly. You may also purchase orange fondant instead.
3. Work the fondant until it becomes soft.
With a rolling pin, flatten the fondant into a thin sheet.
Use the cookie cutters to press out shapes that match your cookies.
4. Brush a small amount of water over the cookie before placing the fondant shape on it.
The water allows the fondant to adhere to the cookie.
5. Set the fondant shape on top of the cookie.
Neaten the edges with a fondant smoother or your fingers. If necessary, you can also gently soften a few edges with a small amount of water.
6. Add faces to the ghosts and jack-o-lanterns with an edible marker!
Children of every age can make these cookies with ease, including toddlers! They’ll also have fun creating their own faces on the cookies.
