PRINT OUT THESE EASY DIRECTIONS:
Make & bake cookies using your favorite recipe or already prepared cookie dough from your grocery store. Cool cookies completely.

Royal Icing Frosting for these Cookies:
BASE CONSISTENCY: 3 tbs meringue powder, 1 lb sifted confectioners sugar (white powdered sugar), 5 to 6 tablespoons of lukewarm water, 1 teaspoon flavoring (vanilla, lemon, orange, almond or cherry). Combine all ingredients by hand, then mix with electric mixer for 5 to 6 minutes on high speed.

This frosting is easy to make and hardens so well that you can stack your cookies without smudging. This recipe should give you a good outline consistency. If it seems too thick then add water one tablespoon at a time. If it seems to thin, add confectioners' sugar a tablespoon at a time. Combine all ingredients. Mix with electric mixer 5 to 6 min. on high speed. This icing dries very quickly, keep portions you are not using well covered. Also place filled decorating bags that you aren't using upside down in a glass with a wet paper towel in the bottom. FLOW CONSISTENCY To make flow icing you need to fill in the cookies after outlining you will need to thin the base with 3 to 4 tbs of additional water. Fill outlined cookies with a spatula or a bag using a #5 tip. Adding color - use gel or paste coloring - you will want to tint only a little at a time and remember to keep covered.

After the frosting has hardened completely, add the finishing Dracula touches to the cookies!

PLEASE NOTE: Once the details of the eyes, mouth, hair and fangs are added to the cookies, they can NOT NOT be stacked on top of each other.

Use the Brown Writing-Decorating Gel to create hair, eyes and mouth and use the Red Writing-Decorating Gel to create fangs.

An idea: Let the kids decorate their own Dracula Face cookie! The gel tubes are very very very easy to use!
