Ingredients
Directions
- Prepare sugar cookie dough and use a ghost-shaped cutter to create ghost cookies.
- Roll out white fondant and cut out matching ghost shapes with the same cutter.
- Knead together fondant, powdered sugar, and corn starch until stiff, then press into a letter mold to form banner letters.
- If you prefer to pipe or draw on the fondant, let it dry slightly before attaching to cookies.
- Lightly brush the fondant ghosts with Rainbow Disco Dust edible glitter for sparkle.
- Attach the fondant pieces to the cookies using thinned royal icing or piping gel.
- Finish decorating with black thinned royal icing: pipe two eyes and a string across the sides of the pennant banner using a small round decorating tip.
