Mad Scientist Cookies!

Muwhahahahahaha! These Mad Scientist cookies were inspired by something else I made...

This is my youngest son, in his Mad Scientist halloween costume from 2017. We participated in a Trunk or Treat event, and I decorated my car as a mad scientist's laboratory. I had SO much fun putting the details together, paying close attention to how it would look after dark! Check out my handiwork!

My eldest son even joined in the fun, by dressing up as the mad scientist's assistant!

As I was sorting through my Halloween cutters, I came across the perfect cutter for my Mad Scientist cookie: a flipped spider cutter from the Sweet Sugarbelle Halloween Basics Set! If you don't have this exact spider cutter, other spider cutters might work too.

Here's what you'll need:
* Baked spider-shaped cookies, using your favorite roll out recipe
* Royal icing in the following colors and consistencies:
      flesh tone of your choice, 20-second consistency
      white, 20-second and piping consistency
      gray, piping consistency 
      black, piping consistency
* Food pen, optional
Let's get started!
1. After baking and cooling your cookies, use a food pen to mark the scientist's face and ears. Use icing to pipe the face and ears. Let the icing dry.

2. Use the 20-second white icing to pipe the hair. Immediately after piping the hair, add some lines with the gray icing, allowing them to sink into the white icing beneath. Now is a good time to pipe the nose. Let the icing dry.

3. Use the black icing to pipe the rims of the glasses. Use the piping consistency white icing to make a mustache. Let these sections dry.

4. Add the final details! Outline the ears, fill in the eyeglasses, add some eyeballs, add some white hairs, and don't forget the puffy eyebrows!

Feel free to change up the eyebrows to convey different emotions. It's amazing how the overall look changes with just a small tweak in the shape of the eyebrows!

These cookies would also be fun for a scientist-themed birthday party, especially if you pair them with some other laboratory-themed cookies. Electricity coil and hazard sign cookies are the favorite snacks of every little mad scientist!

    I'm Amy. Wife, Mom, former science teacher- and now full time cookie baker on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Pull up a chair and we'll create!  I'll bring the coffee- maybe Mike (The Cookie Widower) will make it for us.
