Ingredients
- 16.5 ounce pre-made sugar cookie dough (or use homemade sugar cookie dough) package size is approximate
- 16 ounces chocolate frosting homemade or packaged
- 2 drops black food coloring gel
- 4-5 drops green food coloring gel
- Candy eyes
- all purpose flour (optional) can be used to help roll out cookie dough to prevent sticking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the sugar cookie directions on the label, or in recipe. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add sugar cookie dough to a large mixing bowl. Mix in 4 to 5 drops of green food gel to the sugar cookie dough.
- Roll out green sugar cookie dough. You can use all-purpose flour to prevent sticking to the countertop and rolling pin.
- Use a rectangle cookie cutter and cut out cookies.
- Add two small pieces of cookie dough 3⁄4 down the sides of the rectangle. This will create the bolt on each side of Frankenstein.
- Bake cookies in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or as directed on the package or in the recipe.
- Remove from the oven and place cookies on a cooling rack.
Frosting
- In a medium-size microwavable safe bowl add in frosting and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Stir in black food gel to the melted frosting. Add frosting to a piping bag.
- Create a fun Frankenstein face with the frosting and candy eyes. Allow frosting to set up before transferring to a plate or container.
Notes
- Storage – Store these in an airtight container at room temperature, they’ll last about 4-5 days. To keep them soft, try storing them with a slice of sandwich bread in the container. Unless you are specifically using a crusting frosting (see blue box below), you will want to avoid stacking cookies on top of each other.
- Soft vs Crusting Frosting - The frosting from the grocery store, as well as many homemade frostings, are on the soft side, and therefore they do not form a “crust”. This means that you do not want to stack the cookies on top of each other, as the frosting will smear. If you need to stack your cookies, and want a crusting frosting, this Cookie Frosting is my favorite.
