Here are the Halloween cookies that we will be enjoying today. “Dead” fingers, green witches finger and then the Halloween cookies decorated with royal icing. I got inspired by the recipe from Martha Stewart for the “dead” and witches fingers.
I gave both a light dusting with some cocoa powder. I think that I like the white ones the best.
My Halloween cookies turned out just as I planed. I want to share a great tip with you. When decorating cookies then let them dry underneath a work lamp. It works really good and you can pipe the final details on the cookie the same day, of course depending on what time you start flooding your cookies.
I will jump on my broomstick and fly out into the night. Happy Halloween everyone!
Happy Caking!

So “nice” looking. I just made theese but mine like “meltet” (flød ud) in the oven – do you know why?

Hej, beklager det sene svar. Men grunden kan være at din dej har været for blød. For at mindske at lige netop denne slags cookies flyder ud er at rulle dem meget tynde.

Are you using the same cutter for the icing and the biscuits? All your cookies look FABULOUS by the way!!

Those finger cookies look grossly delicious. I have to say, that’s the first time I have ever used “gross” and “delicious” to describe the same food. Nicely done!
