Baking the Cookies

Decorating with White Chocolate
- Melt your white chocolate.
- Spoon a small dollop of the melted white chocolate onto a fully cooled cookie.
- Using the back of a small spoon, apply light pressure and drag the spoon down to create a ghost shape. Practice on parchment paper first if needed.
- Let the white chocolate harden.
Decorating with Black Candy Melts
- Melt the black candy melts in a microwave-safe container.
- Pour the melted black candy into a piping bag or a ziplock bag, and cut a small tip off the corner of the bag.
- Pipe small dots for the ghost’s eyes and mouth using the candy melts.
- Allow the candy melts to fully dry before enjoying your cookies!
Notes
Ensure cookies are completely cool before adding the white chocolate. If hard to control melted candy melts, cut a smaller tip off the piping bag. Experiment with different shapes or expressions for the ghosts to add character!
