You'll Need
- Small chocolate, chewy, wrapped candies
- Waxed paper
- Sugar cookie dough (homemade or store bought)
- Kitchen knife
- Spatula
- Baking sheet
- Chocolate sprinkles
- Cooling rack
Instructions
-
Unwrap and slice the chewy chocolate candies into 1/8-inch thick circles to use for the skeleton cookie eyes. With clean hands, flatten and shape the circles so that they are slightly rectangular. Then set them aside on a piece of waxed paper.
-
For each skull, cut a 2-inch circle head and a 3/4 inch square jaw from the cookie dough. Place the jaw up against the bottom of the circle head and gently push the two pieces together until they stick. Lightly press 4 or 5 chocolate sprinkle "skeleton teeth" atop the jaw portion of the cookie. Then use a spatula to transfer the cookie to a baking sheet.
-
When the baking sheet is full, bake the cookies according to the recipe directions. (Note: If the dough has softened too much, place the sheet in the refrigerator for a few minutes to stiffen it up again before baking so they'll hold their shapes.)
-
Remove the baked cookies from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. While the cookies are still warm, top them with the chewy chocolate eyes (the candy will stick to them as they cool).
