Once your cookie is baked and ready to decorate, outline it with the light gray icing and then flood it.

Time to add a little character to your moon:

  • While the light gray icing is still wet, apply the darker gray icing randomly on the cookie leaving gaps of the light icing showing. As you can see, I added a little more gray in one spot so it would look like the picture of the real moon I was looking at.
  • Next, grab the Boo Boo Stick and start swirling the icing around. Be careful not to swirl too much or you will lose the moon cloud effect. If you don’t have a Boo Boo Stick, you can use the tip of a butter knife or an offset spatula.

  • I wasn’t super concerned about the icing being perfectly smooth because the moon has creators and this was one time that creators will work for cookies.

  • Now it’s time to add the paper straws so your bat and moon cookies will look adorable. Bakers Stock has a ton of cute paper straws and they are perfect for projects like this. I mean, who wants to look at a cookie stick when you can make it look so much better. I told you these cookies was super simple and I can’t wait to make more.
