Directions
Freeze cookie dough for one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the frozen cookie dough into 16 individual 1/2-inch slices. Roll the slices into a ball. Arrange cookie dough balls in a circle on ungreased cookie sheets, keep them 3-inches apart from each other and 2-inches from the edge of the cookie sheet.
Insert a wooden stick into each ball. Make sure end of sticks are pointing
towards the center of the cookie sheet.
Bake 10 - 14 minutes, until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes. Place on cooling rack and cool completely (around 15 minutes).
In two separate small bowls, combine ingredients for chocolate frosting and white frosting. Mix frosting until smooth. For creamier frosting, add 1 drop of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Frost half the cookies with chocolate frosting and half with white frosting.
Create halloween images using candies.
Note: To create Halloween orange frosting color, add 2 drops of yellow food coloring and 1 drop of red food coloring into the white frosting.
