She didn’t have any cookie cutters so she used a knife to cut out different ghost shapes and they are adorable!

3 Minute Frosting Recipe

While your cookies are baking, whip up this easy royal icing frosting recipe. The consistency is thick so it’s perfect for using on sugar cookies. She frosted them and then we popped them in the fridge so speed the frosting set up time. The frosting has a nice firm finish which is perfect if you want to cover them with cellophane and give as a gift!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (room temp – not melted)
  • 1 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 T. almond extract
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 t. baking powder
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1/4 cup flour or powdered sugar (to roll out dough)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper

  2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until combined.

  3. Add egg and almond extract and beat until combined.

  4. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. beat until combined.

  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour or powdered sugar on countertop.

  6. Roll out cookie dough until it is 1/4 inch thick.

  7. Cut out shapes

  8. Put cookies on baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes.

  9. Take out of oven and let cool on baking rack.

  10. Make 3-minute frosting

3-Minute Frosting

ingredients

  1. 1 cup confectioner's sugar

  2. 3 teaspoons of milk

  3. 2 t. corn syrup

  4. 1/4 t. vanilla extract

  5. food coloring (optional)

3 Minute Frosting Steps

  1. Add confectioner's sugar to mixer bowl. Add milk, corn syrup and vanilla. Whip until smooth.

  2. The frosting should be thick. If it seems runny you can add a little more confectioner's sugar. If it seems too thick you can add more corn syrup but it will thicken as it stands. It's better for it to be too thick than too runny.

  3. Pour food coloring into icing (optional) If using more than one color of food coloring, divide the icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring to each bowl.

  4. NOTE – to help the icing set up faster, put frosted cookies on a baking sheet and pop them into the fridge for 30 minutes. Once the top gets hard you can stack the cookies or wrap them in cellophane to give as gifts. Keep in a air-tight container for 1 week or freeze them.

  5. Ghost eyes = mini chocolate chips. Ghost mouths = frosting with coloring.

    Hi. these look great & easy for the upcoming winter holidays. Question though – can you substitute in Vanilla extract for the almond? I am not a fan of the taste of the almond. Thanks for your guidance.
