Tips & Tricks
- You can use other cookie cutter molds for this recipe. Or simply make regular round cookies and draw spooky stuff with colorful sugar-free icing. Great ideas include spiders, blood drips, and pumpkin monsters.
- The cookies are done when they still give to slight pressure at the center. Don’t worry, they’re firm up once cooled.
- You can make sugar-free royal icing with a combination of almond milk, erythritol, and fiber syrup. Recipes can easily be found online.
