Step-by-Step Instructions for Ghost Cookies
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
- In another bowl, cream 2 sticks of softened butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then gradually stir in the dry mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
- Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Combine 2 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk, stirring until smooth.
- Pipe the edges with icing, flood the middle, and let set for 30 minutes.
