Steps:
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the melting wafers in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, also known as a double boiler, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Keep the bowl of melted candy on the double boiler and, using a fork, lower a cookie into it and immerse it completely to coat it all over. Lift the coated cookie out and hold it over the bowl to allow the excess to drip off.
- Transfer to the parchment paper and place two chocolate chips on the coated cookie for eyes.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies and set aside until the coating has solidified, about 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use parchment paper: Parchment paper prevents the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup easier.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting set properly.
- Get creative with your decorations: You can use a variety of frosting colors, sprinkles, and other decorations to make your sugar cookie ghosts unique.
Conclusion:
These sugar cookie ghosts are a fun and easy treat to make for Halloween. They're perfect for a party or as a gift for friends and family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your sugar cookie ghosts turn out perfectly every time.
