Jack Skellington Cookie Ingredients:

Sugar Cookies (make your own with this easy sugar cookie recipe)
Black Cookie Icing
White Frosting

Follow the Easy Jack Skellington Cookie Tutorial:

Use a butter knife to coat each cookie with white frosting.

Draw two ovals for eyes onto the cookies using the black icing (be sure to buy one with a decorating tip).

Draw two dots for a nose.

Draw a smile for a mouth and then add small lines to create a skeleton mouth.

Enjoy!

In the fridge, your sugar cookies will last for up to one week but are best consumed within three days as your icing will start to bleed as time passes. You also need to make sure that the cookies are properly sealed because you don’t want them to absorb the moisture or smells from other foods in the fridge.

The first step to making beautifully decorated cookies is making sure the cookies are completely cooled when you begin adding the icing. Play it safe by making it a two-day process: Bake the cookies one day, then decorate the next day.
