Instructions

  • Put the chocolate chips in a cup or small bowl.
  • Microwave for 2 minutes on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is smooth and lump-free.
  • Dip a cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  • Turn it upright and shake or tap the uncovered part so the melted chocolate drips down to look more ghostly.
  • Put the coated cookie on parchment paper.
  • Add 2 candy eyes a little way down from the top of each cookie, using baking tweezers if you have some.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookies, melted chocolate and candy eyes.
  • Freeze for 5 minutes to speed up the chocolate setting.
  • Draw mouths with an edible Sharpie near to where the white chocolate finishes on each cookie.

Notes

Keep it dry: Make sure bowls and tools are dry so the chocolate doesn’t seize.
Go gentle: Tap the wrist, not the cookie, to guide slow drips.
Clean edges: Scrape a thin line off the back so each cookie sits flat.
Work in batches: Dip a few, add eyes, then repeat so nothing sets too soon.
Test a face: Practice a mouth on parchment before drawing on cookies.
