Halloween Frankenstein cookies recipe

Directions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the green candy melts (or white melts with oil-based green food coloring) following the package directions. Do not use standard food coloring, as it will cause the candy to stiffen and become unusable. Prepare a flat surface with a sheet of parchment or wax paper to set the coated cookies.
2. Submerge each sandwich cookie completely in the melted candy, using a fork to turn and cover it. Lift the cookie out with the fork and gently tap the fork against the bowl's edge several times to let excess candy drip off and create a smooth surface. Place the cookie on the parchment paper and let the coating harden. Repeat for all cookies.
3. Using the black gel icing tube, sketch a rough hair shape on the cookie. Then take a toothpick and drag the icing into wispy strands, filling in gaps to create textured hair.
4. With a clean toothpick, apply a small dot of the green candy to the back of each candy eye, then press them onto the cookie where desired. For the nose, dot a larger amount of green candy directly onto the cookie using the toothpick.
5. Complete the face by piping additional black icing for scars, eyebrows, and a mouth in any expression you like.
