Ok everyone… get out your fat burners because these cookies are 400 calories for just 1 cookie! But they’re cute and perfect for Halloween.
1 pouch sugar cookie mix
2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1/3 cup softened butter or margarine
1 egg
1 container (1 lb) vanilla frosting
12 small jelly beans, cut in half
black decorating gel
1. Pre-heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix and cocoa. Add the butter and egg; stir until it forms a soft dough
2. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 5-inch gingerbread man shaped cookie cutter. On un-greased cookie sheet, place 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps; re-roll until all dough is used.
3. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are puffy and the tops are dry. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4. Spoon frosting into re-sealable plastic bag; partly seal the bag and cut 1/4-inch hole in a bottom corner. Or you can use a decorating bag with a flat tip with 1/4-inch-wide opening (#44). Pipe frosting on cookies for bandages. Place jelly beans for eyes and use black gel to make pupils in eyes. Store cookies in airtight container.
