These darling Halloween ghost sugar cookies are easy to make with a basic sugar cookie recipe and royal icing. After baking, add fondant bows for hair ribbons or bow ties, then pipe white icing borders and fill. Finish with black icing faces and colorful accents using lime green, pink, black, and blue food coloring to create unique personalities.

Directions

Prepare your favorite sugar cookie dough, roll it out, and cut into ghost shapes by hand or with a cookie cutter. Bake the cookies and let them cool completely.

Use a fondant mold to create small bows that will serve as hair ribbons or bow ties for the ghost decorations.

With medium-stiff white royal icing, pipe a thin border around the edge of each ghost. Allow it to set, then flood the inside with more white royal icing.

Decorate the faces using a black baking pen or stiff black royal icing. Use lime green, pink, black, and blue food coloring to bring each character to life.
