Ingredients ( Halloween Cookies )

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 

Icing ( Halloween Cookies )

• 5 cups powdered sugar
• 6 tbsp. milk
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• Black food coloring
• Teal food coloring 
• Orange food coloring
• Green food coloring 
• Purple food coloring 
• Yellow food coloring

Instructions ( Halloween Cookies )

1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Beat the butter and sugar in a separate large mixing bowl until creamy. Mix in the egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then gradually add the flour mixture until completely incorporated.
3. Roll into a disc and cover with plastic wrap. 1 hour in the refrigerator
4. Preheat the oven to 350 ℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper when you’re ready to roll. Roll out dough until it’s 1/8″ thick on a lightly floured work surface. Cut out shapes with a skull cookie cutter and place on baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 10 minutes (to ensure that your shapes stay put while baking!)
5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until sides are lightly brown. Allow to cool completely before serving.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Fill a piping bag with about a fourth of the frosting and a small round tip. Outline the cookie’s edges.
7. Transfer roughly half of the leftover icing to a medium mixing bowl and thin with 1 teaspoon milk at a time until it reaches a proper flooding consistency. Fill another piping bag with the mixture and a small round tip. To completely fill cookies with frosting, pipe icing into the centres.
8. Dye the remaining icing in six different colours: black, teal, orange, green, purple, and yellow.
9. Fill separate piping bags with different colours and a small round tip, and draw artistic faces on cookies.
