Variations For Homemade Halloween Cookies
Use other cookies– I used graham crackers but you can use store bought square sugar cookies or make these Easy Cut Out Sugar Cookies {With Cake Mix} as the base of the cookie. You can also use Easy Chocolate Sugar Cookies {Cut Out}, Easy Funfetti Cookies {Cut Out}, or these Small Batch of Sugar Cookies.
Use royal icing– In place of fondant, but I find this to be quite time-consuming.
Use store-bought fondant– I used homemade marshmallow fondant, but you can use store-bought version to save time.
Use buttercream icing- For sticking pieces instead of corn syrup.
Use store-bought sprinkles– I used my homemade sprinkles for the eyes and nose, but you can use store-bought if you prefer.
Tips And Techniques For Halloween Biscuits
Use a cookie cutter– To create even and identical shapes for the cookies and fondant.
What kind of chocolate to use? I used semi-sweet chocolate, but you can use dark or milk chocolate.
How to melt chocolate? Follow the package directions. If there are none, melt in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second intervals, stirring between each heating until silky smooth.
Work gently with fondant– In order to prevent cracking the cookies while adhering details.
Storage of Decorated Cookies
Room temperature– It is best to keep them at room temperature in a cardboard box for 2-3 days. Avoid sealed containers as that can make them sticky too.
Refrigerate or Freeze– Fondant covered cookies cannot be stored in the fridge or freezer. Condensation beads form on top as they come to room temperature and will make them sticky.
