What makes these cookies look amazing is the detailed white skeleton bones on the dark cookie.
Piping Tips:
Using a piping bag with royal icing (see recipe below). Cut a small hole, outline the skull with ghoulish big uneven eyes, nose and jagged upper teeth. Pipe bones for all arms and feet. Outline the spine.
Add your personal touches, whether it be dots, dashes or doodles ( Did you see the fishbone on the leg of the cat? ).
Allow the icing to dry. If there is something you piped and do not like, you can easily scrape the icing off with a sharp knife.
Note: None of the icing outlines or designs are perfect. The piping was done free hand and super quick. Free-styling is the best technique!
Royal Icing Yield 1 cup
1/2 cup meringue powder (lump free)
1 3/4 cups of icing sugar sifted (lump free)
70 ml of hot tap water
Blend the meringue powder and the icing sugar with the water for 4 minutes. Add more water to desired consistency. Keep icing covered with damp cloth while using. Store in airtight container, no need to refrigerate. Re blend before use. For stiffer icing, use less water.
Have FUN creating these Skelton Cookies
Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!!
