Skeleton Gingerbread Men Cookies
A cute and spooky cookie perfect for Halloween!
- 1 batch Chocolate Cut-Out Cookies with 1 teaspoon orange extract and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon added or more to taste

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.
