Step by Step Instructions
Preparing the Cookie Dough:
- Mixing Magic: In a bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Egg-cellent Addition: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Flour Power: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the Spooky Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rolling: Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Brainy Business: Using brain-shaped cookie cutters, cut out your eerie brain shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake and Watch: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Let them cool completely before decorating.
cing Fun:
- Whip Up the Icing: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water until smooth.
- Using an edible pen, you can draw on the outline of the brain, eyes, and mouth to make decorating the cookies easy.
- Color the Brains: Divide the icing into separate bowls and add pink, green, and black food coloring to create the perfect brain-like shades.
Decorating the Zombie cookies:
- Outline First: Use a piping bag with a small round tip to outline the brain shapes with the pink colored icing.
Filling In: Thin out the remaining icing with a bit of water and flood the inside of the outlined mug area with green, allowing it to spread and fill.
Repeat with the white icing and color in the bone area that is sticking out of the pink brains.
Next, fill in the eyes with white icing and the mouth with black icing. Allow about 15 minutes for those areas to dry before adding the teeth and eyeballs.
Creating Depth: While the icing is still wet, use your edible ink pen to gently create lines and squiggles to resemble the folds of a brain. Around the eyeballs and distress the coffee mug a bit.
Patience is Key: Allow the icing to set completely before serving or storing your Zombie Brains Cut-Out Cookies.
