The mini ghost, pumpkin and bat cookie cutters came from a Halloween set my mom bought me more than 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure she found it at World Market. I've seen similar sets at Fred Meyer and Michael's.
The cutter I used for the cobweb is just a 1.5 inch square cutter. You could also use a small round cutter. These cookies are so easy to make and because they are small — one batch of cookie dough makes at least 60 cookies.
Here's how to make them:
 |
| My favorite design is the cobweb. |
 |
| Bake small square or round cookies. |
 |
| Outline and flood the cookie with white icing. |
 |
| While the white icing is still wet, use flood consistency black icing to pipe two circles and a dot. |
 |
| Use a skewer or toothpick to pull the icing from the center to each of the four corners. Be sure to wipe clean your skewer or toothpick between swipes. |
 |
| Pull the icing four more times in between each of the corners. The result is simple but spectacular. |
 |
| To make the ghost, outline and flood the cookie with white icing. Then immediately add flood consistency black icing for the eyes and mouth. That's all there is to it! |
 |
| To make the bat, outline and flood the cookies with black royal icing. I use a skewer to ease the icing to the edges. |
 |
| Add two white eyes and you're done. |
 |
| To make the pumpkins, outline and flood the cookie with orange royal icing. |
 |
| Add a little green stem. The pumpkins add a nice pop of color to your mini cookie assortment. |
