In the summer, we saw these cookie cutters at Albert Heijn and we immediately got a fun idea for Halloween :)) This year our Halloween biscuits play a double role, as tasty cookies and as a game. We let the mini-monsters puzzle words, the decorations and the colours are clues. Every good word deserves a cookie!
How to make our Letter bicuits
Make the dough according to the PDF recipe and place it in the fridge
Knead the dough a moment.
Roll out the dough.
Cut out words.
Like here, for example.
Place the biscuits on your baking tray which is covered in baking paper and preheat the oven +/- 10 minutes before you start baking
Place the biscuits 1 hour in the fridge.
Bake the biscuit on 170°C
They are ready in 12 - 15 minutes.
Let cool first on the baking tray, then on a wire rack.
We have more biscuits then will fit on the baking tray!
While the biscuits cool you can cut the fondant icing
Roll out the fondant.
Cut out the letters.
Stick on the biscuits.
Sort the words on colour.
Decorate the biscuits.
As a little hint.
You can see which letters belong together.
All the biscuits are ready now, keep them in a biscuit tin.
You can play a word game with the letterss or just eat the cookies!
Happy Halloween!
