5. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper/baking parchment.

8. I have also used an upsides down snowman cutter for a skull.
9. Place on baking tray and bake for 10 - 12 minutes - they should be firm but not browned.
10. Rest on tray a further 10 minutes then remove and set on a wire rack to continue cooling.
11. Decorate with piped icing. Let your imagination guide you. You could stick sweets to the icing for eyes or buttons.
12. For Halloween make some headless, armless or legless by cutting off a leg or whatever and decorate with red icing near the 'injury', scary faces and pipe a skeleton out of icing onto the bodies. My son loves this! We call them 'Injure-bread Men' lol.
13. To make Xmas Stained Glass Cookies, follow the recipe but cut circles out of your main cookie shapes.
14. Bash some boiled sweets or lollipops with a rolling pin to break them into smaller pieces and spoon into the holes in your cookies.
