Let’s walk through the exact steps of decorating this adorable, haunted house cookie!
Step 1:
Start with a delicious cookie canvas! For today’s cookie, we’re using our no-chill vanilla cutout cookie recipe, but with one of my favorite variations! While it’s delicious with vanilla extract, my favorite way to make these over-the-top good, is to use THIS emulsion! Simply use 1 tsp vanilla extract and a 1/2 tsp of this emulsion for an amazing flavor!
