Ingredients
  

Dough base:

  • 2 ounces butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 tablespoons water or milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup white flour
  • green and black food coloring

Decoration:

  • orange mini candies
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate
  • 2 drops orange food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon coconut flakes
  • 12 sugar eyes
  • sprinkles beads

Instructions
 

  • Rub flour, sugar and butter into flakes. Add egg and water. Knead into soft pliable dough.
  • Color 1/3 of the dough black. Set aside. Color the remaining dough green and if you have the time, chill it for 15 minutes before roll it out into a layer
  • Form six circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place them on a silicone half-moon mold. Bake in a hot oven at 350°F until the edges are golden brown. Cool the blanks, align the edges on a fine grater.
  • From the green dough, rolled out into a layer, form six circles with a diameter of 2 ounces. Place the circles on parchment paper. Roll out the black dough. Using a mold or template, cut out the caps, sprinkle with purple sprinkles. Remove a sector from the green circle so that they can be connected. Grease the joints of the cap and circle with water and press the edges. Bake the base for 8-10 minutes. Cool.
  • Melt white chocolate in a double boiler until the consistency of condensed milk. Color it orange. Place the candies in a concave blank, grease the edges with chocolate. Cover it with the base, press and turn it over. Cover the hair area with chocolate, sprinkle with shavings or mini-balls. Attach noses and eyes to the chocolate. Draw details with a food marker.
  • Serve them on Halloween or pack them in clear plastic bags as edible gifts. Happy Halloween!

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and egg for smoother dough.
  • Add decorations while the chocolate is still soft so they stick well.
  • Take care to fully sealing the stuffed center to help prevent leaks while baking.
  • Serve them on Halloween or pack them in clear plastic bags as edible gifts.
  • If you decide to freeze them to store, simply pop a cookie in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds or heat it in a low oven for a few minutes until just soft and gooey inside.
