Give this simple recipe a try and make the cookies into any shape you like!
- 4 egg whites (room temperature)
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Candy eyes
- Toothpick
Add room temperature egg whites to mixer and turn on. Next add cream of tartar and salt. Then add the sugar 1 tbsp at a time to ensure the sugar fully dissolves. Whip until you get stiff peaks.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe the ghosts onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the cookies with a toothpick and add the tails.
Bake at 225 F for 1 hour then turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely before you pull the cookies out. This will allow them to cook fully.
Make a simple royal icing to use as glue for the candy eyes.
Boo!
