Prep time: 20 min.
Baking time: 12 min., Set Time: 120 min.
Decoration time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies Pumpkin Patch Mix
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 18-oz roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 3 tablespoons egg white powder
- 1 16-oz. box confectioner’s sugar
- 6 tablespoons warm water
- Yellow and orange food coloring
- Neon green food coloring
- 3 cookie sheet pans
- Straw
- Thin ribbon
- Printable template
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Knead the flour into the cookie dough until smooth. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using the printable template cut out 24 hands, re-rolling the scraps. Transfer to prepared cookie sheet pans and randomly press-out one hole in each cookie using the straw.
- Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg white powder, confectioner’s sugar and 6 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and thick. Divide the frosting into 3 small bowls. Tint 1 bowl yellow, 1 bowl orange and 1 bowl neon green. Completely cover each cookie with assorted tinted frostings.
- Gently press M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies Pumpkin Patch Mix into the frosting and then set cookies aside to dry until firm, about 2 hours.
- Tie a knot on one end of each strand of thin ribbon. Thread the other end through the cookies and hang at desired lengths on scary tree limbs or decorative tree.
