Instructions

  • Cut cookies into gingerbread men shapes. Bake and cool completely. Pipe faces on cookies and then remainder of skeleton design. Add water to royal icing until it resembles a thick syrup. Drizzle onto open space in face design and use a tooth pick to spread it out and into the crevices. Let cookies dry completely, several hours or overnight.
  • To make hearts and bones/bows, use food coloring to tint icing to desired color. Pipe designs onto parchment paper and let dry until hard. Gently remove from parchment and attach to cookies with a dab of wet icing.
  • Bite cute little heads off.
