Jack-O-Lantern Cookies

My mom made these cookies with us every Halloween season and making these with her is a very fond memory. So now I do it with my kids. They already ate their batch though, so these are some I decorated. I was in a hurry so these were a bit sloppily done but I think they’re still pretty cute. All you need is your favorite sugar cookie and icing recipe, candy corn , some of those little black or brown CakeMate tubes of edible Gel and creativity.
I just found this amazing icing recipe today on Allrecipes.com. I modified it a bit, but it is the best sugar cookie icing I’ve ever tasted. And you can see it dries with that nice glossy finish.

Sugar Cookie Icing

1 cup powdered sugar
3-5 teaspoons milk
3 teaspoons corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
food coloring

Whisk all ingredients together, adding more milk if necessary. Dip the sugar cookie, face down into the icing and turn over quickly. Decorate and allow to dry.
