Frosted Cookies Halloween Ghosts
- 400 grams Cake flour
- 180 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 200 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 grams Dried egg white powder
- 30 grams Water
- For the cookies:
- Cream the unsalted butter.
- Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract and egg to the butter and mix well.
- Add cake flour in several batches, stirring well after each addition, then knead by hand.
- Divide the kneaded cookie dough into 5 to 6 pieces.
- Chill the dough for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
- Roll the dough out about 5mm thick, and cut out with a cookie cutter.
- Rolling the cookie dough out thinly will make the cookies easier to ice and better looking.
- Bake in a 340F/170C oven for about 10 minutes.
- For the icing:
- Mix the dried egg white powder and water and let sit for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, sift the powdered sugar.
- Add the sifted powdered sugar to the egg white liquid, and mix until shiny.
- Put the icing in a piping bag, and draw an outline around the edges of each cookie.
- Make the icing outlines really really thin.
- Wait until the outlines have totally dried.
- Add water to the remaining icing to soften.
- Pipe in the softened icing inside the outlines to fill them in.
- Wait until the icing has dried thoroughly.
- Mix the black food coloring in the icing.
- Add a tiny bit of water to the icing, so that's it's a consistency that's easy to draw with.
- Draw the faces on, with the piping bag held perpendicular to the cookie surface.
- Apply the decorations:
- Stick on the decorations before the icing dries.
- Here's how the cookies look.
