Preparation of Halloween coffin and skull cookies
In the bowl, add the room temperature butter and sugar, and after putting on gloves, work with your hands until you get a uniform and soft mixture.
Add the egg to the bowl and mix it using your hands (with gloves, of course).
Finally, add the flour to the bowl and start kneading with your hands. When the mixture is no longer sticky, place it on the lightly floured pastry board and knead until you get a smooth dough ball.
Wrap the shortcrust dough ball well in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
After resting in the fridge, take the dough and place it on the floured pastry board, roll it out with the rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/6 inch, cut half coffins and half skulls with the cutters (continue to knead, roll out, and cut the leftover dough until it’s used up).
Place coffins and skulls on a baking sheet with parchment paper, preheat the oven to 356°F, and once hot, bake, let cook for 18/20 minutes (depending on the oven), always check the cooking!
Once baked, let the Halloween cookies cool completely; once cool, decorate them with the spread or edible marker!
