Ingredients

  • 20 Chocolate sugar cookies
  • Buttercream icing Colored orange, white and yellow. Can use royal icing instead if you prefer a harder cookie icing
  • ¼ cup M&M candies

Instructions

  • Prepare the cookie dough. Roll it out and cut out traingle shapes. Bake and let the cookies cool completely.
  • Fill three individual piping bags with different colored icings. Attach Wilton's Tip #21 (small star tip).
  • Hold your bag at a 45 degree angle near the base of the cookie. Squeeze your bag util icing comes out. Now, start moving your hand in a right-left motion rapidly. This should result in a beautiful row of swiggly ruffles.
  • Continute doing this until the entire cookies is covered in rows of ruffles.
  • You will notice that one side of the cookie will have some messy and droopy ruffles.That can be fixed easily. Just run a spatula along the side of the cookie downwards and no more mess.
  • To make the eyes, use a a black edible marker to draw eyeballs on m&m candies.
  • Stick them near the top of each cookie and enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
