Directions:

#1: Mummy

Drizzle white icing on the middle of the cookie, then spread it roughly all over up to the sides, and squeeze green for the eyes. Top the green with black making sure it’s a bit offset on the side, then add a small dot of white, and add random lines all over the cookie making sure to avoid the eyes.

#2: Frankenstein

Line the cookie with green on the edges, then fill the inside with green, and smooth it out. Let it set, then draw the hair with black icing, and draw the eyes and mouth with black as well. Add a white dot on the eyes, and then draw black stitches on the cheek.

#3: Spider web

Line the sides with white, then fill the space, and smooth it out. Add a black dot in the center, then add a circle around the dot, and keep adding more circles after the previous one. Using a pointed tool or stick, drag the icing on the center toward the side as shown in the video, and keep repeating the same steps until it resembles a spider’s web.

#5: Cauldron

Line the cookie in half with black icing, then fill the lower space, and smooth it out.
