Halloween Frankenstein Cookies
I just love Halloween because its the perfect time to get creative and make things I never have before. The great thing about making things for Halloween is that if you totally fail, you can just call it a zombie cookie, and nobody will know the difference.
These Halloween Frankenstein Cookies are perfect for after school snacks, classroom parties, and fun Halloween parties.

How to Make Halloween Frankenstein Cookies
This recipe yields 15-24 cookies depending on the size of your cookies. Follow the steps below to create these fun treats!
In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and egg.
In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix – cookie dough will start to form.
As the dough starts to take shape, add gel food coloring. Knead with your hands until dough is formed and completely tinted by the food coloring. Wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Remove dough from fridge and roll with a rolling pin until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Cut dough into squares, about 2 inches x 2 inches in size. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven (375 degrees F) for about 7-8 minutes.
Allow cooling before decorating.
How to Decorate Your Frankenstein Halloween Cookies
Roll out white fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.Use the base of Wilton #12 to cut out 30-48 white fondant circles (depending on how many cookies you’ve baked – 2 white fondant circles are needed per cookie).
Next, roll out black fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Use tip of Wilton #12 to cut out 30-48 black fondant circles, depending on how many cookies have been baked.
Place one black fondant circle on each white fondant circle. Dot black decorating frosting on the back of each fondant “eye” piece. Place two on each cookie.
Attach Wilton tip #3 on black decorating frosting and draw a smile on each cookie. Knead remaining black and white fondant together to blend a piece of fondant that’s grey in color.
Roll out spheres, about ¼ of an inch in size. Flatten slightly. Dot black decorating frosting on each flattened grey fondant sphere and attach one on each side of the cookie – these will act as Frankenstein’s monster’s bolts.
Attach Wilton tip #233 on black decorating frosting and frost hair on each cookie.
Enjoy!
