    Ghostly Cookies for Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Allergy-Friendly Parties

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on October 30, 2012 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Most ghost cookies are simply sugar cookies cut into ghostly shapes with Halloween cookie cutters. But these free-form ghosts are much more fun and have a spookier vibe.

    The ghosts are made of a quick and easy fondant that’s draped over rolled Enjoy Life Soft Baked Cookies – your choice of type. You could use another cookie, but it would need to be a soft one that is easily shaped. In a pinch, soft chewy bars would be tasty too!

    Author: Enjoy Life Foods
    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 12 ghosts
    Ingredients
    Easy Fondant
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 4 teaspoons xanthan gum or guar gum (for corn-free)
    • 3 to 4 tablespoons water
    Cookies
    • 1 (6-ounce box) Enjoy Life Cookies (12 cookies), any flavor
    • 1 (10-ounce) bag dairy-free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)
    Instructions
    Easy Fondant
    1. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and xanthan gum or guar gum. Add the water, a little at a time, stirring until it incorporates and forms "dough."
    2. Knead the "dough" a few times. Roll it out with a rolling pin. Cover the rolled dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
    3. Cut a circle out of the "dough" that's about 1½ inches in diameter, and cover the remaining "dough" in plastic wrap. Roll out the circle until is very thin. Repeat this step with the remaining fondant "dough."
    Ghost Cookies
    1. Take 1 cookie and roll it in your hands until it is a round ball.
    2. Take fondant circle and drape it over the cookie. Place 2 chocolate chips for the eyes.
    3. Serve immediately. These ghost cookies may be stored covered tightly in plastic wrap (to keep from drying out) for up to 2 days.
    Notes
    Fondant Flavors: You can use clear extracts to flavor the fondant. Clear vanilla extract is readily available, and LorAnn's Super Strength Flavors are fun and allergy-friendly. Add the extract with the water to avoid adding too much moisture.
