EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

There will be about 1/2 cup of leftover frosting; you can adjust the frosting to your own taste, or spread remaining frosting between graham crackers for an extra treat.

We prefer the more sturdy single string of black licorice instead of the softer pull-apart variety.

This is a cute Halloween Treat. It is a variation of a Basic Round Sugar Cookie --- decorated as either a Bat or Cat. Using the Vanilla Icing as your basic cover, decorate with orange &/or black strips of candy. Make certain to have both orange & black food coloring to change your decoration. Look closely at the photo's to understand your directions for decorating. Enjoy Halloween! LOL :-) Let the kids help you in decorating!!!
