Skull And Spider Web Cookies

• 8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 None egg yolk
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup honey, warmed
• 1 tub (16 oz) vanilla frosting
• 1 None licorice strip
• Few drops orange food color
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Lightly grease and line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
2. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk. Fold in combined sifted flour and baking soda. Mix in honey to form a soft dough. Halve and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 mins.
3. On a lightly floured surface, knead each portion of dough gently. Roll out between 2 sheets parchment paper until 1/4 inch thick.
4. Cut out circles from one portion of dough using a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, and skulls from the other. Arrange 2 inches apart on prepared pans.
5. Bake 8-10 mins, until firm to touch. Cool completely on pans.
6. Spread skulls with half frosting. Cut out nose, eyes and teeth from licorice and arrange as shown.
7. Tint remaining frosting bright orange with food color. Spread over round cookies. Pipe chocolate in spirals onto cookies, using a piping bag with a small plain tip. Drag a toothpick from center of cookies to edge at 3/4-inch intervals to create web pattern.
