Steps for ghost cookies

• To make these cute ghost cookies, you need to prepare the dough. If you want, you can make the pastry by hand using a bowl. For convenience, I used the stand mixer. In the mixer’s bowl, add both sifted flours, cold butter in pieces, vanilla extract, salt, and mix everything using the K beater at speed 1-2. Once the “sand” is created, so-called because it resembles sand, add the powdered sugar and egg, and mix again until you form a smooth and homogeneous dough. Wrap the pastry in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour.

  

• Take the pastry out of the fridge, knead it with your hands and roll the dough with the help of a rolling pin on a floured pastry board into a 1/8 inch thick sheet. Use a heart-shaped cutter to form the cookies, then cut them in half lengthwise. In half of the cookies, make holes with a round-tipped piping nozzle or a straw to form eyes and a mouth. Leave the other half as a base. Repeat with the remaining pastry to create all the cookies. (See photo collage).

  

• Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Turn off the oven, remove, and let cool. Dust each ghost with powdered sugar and fill the base with strawberry or raspberry jam, then pair the cookies together. And here they are ready.
