Ingredients
- Sugar wafers
- Green frosting
- Chocolate chips
- Black licorice
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Take the sugar wafers and lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet. You will need two wafers for each cookie, so plan accordingly to make 24 cookies.
- Using a small amount of green frosting, spread a generous layer on the top of one sugar wafer. This will be the "face" of your Frankenstein cookie.
- Place a second sugar wafer on top of the frosted wafer to create a sandwich. Gently press down to ensure they stick together well.
- Once all the wafers are assembled, it's time to decorate. Use the remaining green frosting to create hair on top of the cookie. You can pipe it on or use a small spatula to spread it out in a messy fashion.
- Next, take the chocolate chips and press two of them into the frosting for the eyes. Position them evenly apart to give your cookie a spooky look.
- For the pupils, use the candy eyes. Place one candy eye on each chocolate chip to bring your Frankenstein cookie to life.
- Now, take the black licorice and cut it into small pieces. Use these pieces to create a mouth or other facial features on your cookie. You can make a simple line for a mouth or get creative with different shapes.
- Once all cookies are decorated, place them in the oven for about 10 minutes. This will help the frosting set slightly and give the cookies a warm, fresh-baked feel.
- After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your Sugar Wafer Frankenstein Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at your Halloween party or package them as treats for friends and family.
Tips
- • Make sure your green frosting is the right consistency - too runny, and it'll slide off; too thick, and it won't spread smoothly. • Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a corner snipped off for more precise frosting application. • Get creative with facial expressions - each Frankenstein cookie can have its own unique personality! • For extra spookiness, try using different shades of green frosting. • Let kids help with decorating for a fun family Halloween activity. • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for 3-4 days. • Pro hack: Slightly warm the cookies before serving to make the frosting extra gooey and delicious.
