Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix your favorite cut out sugar cookie dough. Roll the dough ⅜" thick on a piece of parchment (this is important!). You want to roll it in a way where it spreads out to the size of a piece of paper.
  • After cutting the ghost shape from the printable template, lay it on top of the dough and then use a sharp knife to trim around the edges. You want a thin, straight-edged knife for the cleanest cut (not a serrated).
  • Once cut, carefully transfer the parchment (with the cut ghost) to a baking pan. Bake at 350 for 10-14 minutes or until center is baked through and edges are *slightly browned*. Baking time may vary depending on how thick you rolled the dough.
  • Once the cookie is completely cooled (place in fridge to speed it up), spread white icing on top. You can simply use a knife or if you want a more clean look, use a piping bag to first create an outline and then fill in the center.
  • While the icing is still wet, place the 2 brown eyes and 2 orange cheeks on top. Use a knife to cut one more brown M&M in half and place on the mouth (you may have to sacrifice a few M&M's before you get the perfect half cut).
  • Allow frosting to set (if desired) then cut into squares & enjoy!
