Cookie Cutter:

• Ghost Cookie Cutter– Here is a link to this ghost cookie cutter but almost any ghost cookie cutter will work. Find one you like and go for it!

Royal Icing Colors:

You will need an outline and flood-consistency royal icing for this post or you can use a 15-Second Royal Icing.

• White- Americolor Bright White
• Black- Americolor Super Black
• Gray- Mix a tiny amount of the black royal icing with some white royal icing to make a pretty gray color. You will only need a small amount for each cookie.

Tools:

• Turkey Lacer and or you can use a Scribe tool
• Paintbrush– This isn’t the brush I used but I do like the way it looks. If you have a food-safe brush you can use the one you have.
• Black Fine Tip Food-Safe Marker
• Piping Bags
• Optional- #1.5 PME Piping Tip- I like using piping tips but most people don’t. Do whatever makes you comfortable. 
• If you want to add a little sparkle you can use some Flash Dust Natural Glitter – Original Silver. And if you need a spray bottle for disco dust, The Cookie Countess has you covered! If you want to get your edible glitter in a spray bottle without mixing it you can get Pearl Edible Glitter Spray from Country Kitchen Sweetart.

How to Make a Simple Ghost Cookie with Sparkling Eyes:

Enjoy the video!

Let’s do this!

• Begin by drawing two eyes and a mouth with the food-safe marker.
• Draw the little curved line at the bottom of the ghost cookie.
• Next, use some black outline consistency royal icing to outline the eyes and mouth.
• Dampen a food-safe paintbrush and spread the black icing in the eyes and mouth.
• Use a scribe tool to remove the excess royal icing. You can see how simple this is in the video.
• Pipe a little gray royal icing and use a damp food-safe paintbrush to spread the icing in the space.
• While the icing is wet spray some of the Flash Dust Natural Glitter – Original Silver or the Pearl Edible Glitter Spray to make the eyes sparkle.
• Now you can outline the ghost, eyes, and mouth with the outline consistency white royal icing.
• Flood the ghost cookie with the white flood-consistency royal icing. If you want you can spray the entire ghost with the pearl glitter spray to make him sparkle like his eyes.
• Now you can add a cute little flower or any royal icing transfer you’d like to make your ghost cute. Follow the link for a pumpkin, bat, witch hat, or even chocolate chip cookie. Make them ahead of time so they can dry before you make your ghost cookies. Use your imagination and my FREE royal icing transfer template. If you want something you don’t see let me know and I’ll try to make it for you.

You’re all done! What cute royal icing transfer are you going to add to your cute little ghost cookie? I kind of think a pumpkin bucket or a cute chocolate chip cookie would look really cute. I can’t wait to see what you do!
