Ingredients
Kit Ingredients
- Ready-to-Decorate Halloween Chocolate Cookie House Decorating Kit
- Black Sanding Sugar, 3.25 oz.
- Gray Icing (included in kit)
- Purple Icing (included in kit)
- Black Tube Icing (included in kit)
- Yellow Fondant (for doorknob and roof log)
- Assorted Candy (for decorating)
Instructions
- Prepare Icing: Place the gray icing into a decorating bag fitted with the appropriate decorating tip to prepare for outlining the details on the cookie house.
- Decorate Door and Windows: Using the gray icing and decorating bag, carefully outline the door, windows, and windowpanes. Roll a small ball of yellow fondant to create a doorknob and attach it to the door with icing. Embellish further by attaching assorted candy decorations around these areas.
- Decorate Roof: Spread purple icing evenly on the roof section using the back of a spoon to create a smooth layer. Use black tube icing to outline a spider web design on the icings of the roof. Attach assorted candy on the roof for extra decoration. Roll a log shape from yellow fondant and attach it along the roof peak with icing, then add more candy decorations.
- Decorate Front of House: Outline a spider web pattern on the front of the cookie house using the black tube icing. Continue decorating by attaching candies as desired to enhance the spooky look.
- Optional – Decorate Base: If desired, use a spoon to spread icing on the base of the cookie house and sprinkle with black sanding sugar for added texture and effect.
Notes
- Use a steady hand when piping icing to create neat outlines and designs.
- Allow icing to set slightly before attaching candies to prevent slipping.
- Fondant can be softened by warming slightly in hands to make rolling easier.
- For younger children, supervising the use of decorating bags and small candies is recommended to avoid mess and choking hazards.
- Store finished cookie house in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
