This project was sent into me for consideration on the new craft blog, but I had to ask if I could show it off for our Sunday recipe swap because people this is easy, festive and ADORABLE! It is from the blog Roots and Wings Co. and boy do these sisters have GREAT ideas. Go check out their blog- seriously, you will not me disappointed if you like cute Halloween Decor especially. Here is their fabulous idea
No Bake Halloween Skeleton Cookies
Aaak! Sometimes I kill myself with cuteness/easy factor of things. This is both adorable AND easy. I mean easy. The hardest part is finding Gingerbread cookies in October. The last two years, the only place I have found these Pepperidge Farm Ginger Man cookies was at Target.
You only need two ingredients to make these! Gingerbread cookies which you can buy premade, and white frosting, cream cheese flavor just happens to be the favorite. ****Katrina here with my two cents….. If you plan to travel with these then using white chocolate would be the way to go.****
Place the icing in a ziploc baggie, then cut a SMALL hole on one of the bottom corners. Smaller is better because you can always make the hole bigger but you can’t make it smaller. (Speaking from experience.) Then carefully ice the cookies to look like skeletons. I did the bodies first. Then I cut the hole a little bigger and did the heads.
Really this is my favorite picture…there are little fingers waiting to grab one of these up. Can you blame them? There are just too cute!
Oh my, the icing, the little sugar granuals, the gingerbread. These taste so good. Go ahead and dip the cookie right in the remainder of your icing, if you must. Actually, you MUST. Just try it. Or stick your finger in the tub. Don’t hold back. Get a spoon. (Ok this was added by Anjeanette and I can’t have this specific icing. Oh my, do I miss it.)
