Ingredients

  • White and Orange Fondant
  • Orange Icing Color Optional
  • Halloween Cookie Cutter Shapes
  • Black Edible Marker

Instructions

  • Bake cookies with a ghost and pumpkin cookie cutter.
  • Tint your white fondant orange.
    Add some food coloring and knead until it spreads evenly. Alternatively you can buy orange fondant.
  • Knead the fondant until soft.
    Using a rolling pin, roll out a thin layer of fondant.
    Press in the cookie cutters to make the same shape as your cookies.
  • Attach the fondant shape to the cookie by brushing on a little bit of water on the cookie first.
    The water will help the fondant stick to the cookie.
  • Place the fondant shape onto the cookie.
    Smooth out any edges with a fondant smoother or by hand. You can soften some edges with a little bit of water too, if needed.
  • Use an edible marker to add faces to your ghosts and jack-o-lanterns!
