3D Skull Cookies for Halloween - butter

Method

• Put the butter, flour, and sugar in a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Next, add the cream, egg yolk, and vanilla essence and blend until it comes together.
• Roll out the dough and divide into 8 equal portions.
• Form each portion into a skull shape.
• Using the end of a chopstick, poke holes for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• In an oven pre-heated to 300F/150C, bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 265F/130C and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Once they cool, fill the eyes, nose and mouth with melted chocolate piped with a pastry bag.
• I used these to decorate cakes!
