Are You Afraid of the Dark? Ghost Island synopsis:
"Four best friends and members of a Midnight Society get more than they bargained for when what they think is a fun summer vacation on a resort island turns into something sinister. They encounter genuine terror locked away in one of the rooms after checking into their hotel, and as the kids try to enjoy their vacation, they are pulled back into the mystery of the island's ghosts, ultimately leading them to a terrifying and shocking revelation: many guests check in to room 13, but they never check out."

Ingredients
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg, Room Temperature
- 1.5 TSP Vanilla Extract
- 2 TSP Baking Powder
- 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 12 Purple Jolly Ranchers, Crushed

- 2 TBSP Vanilla Frosting
- 4 Ghost Icing Decorations
- 2 TBSP Mixed Sprinkles
- Edible Gold Cake Paint
- SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- Ornate Frame Cookie Cutter
- Small Rectangle Cookie Cutter
- Small Food Brush
Instructions
Preheat Oven to 350°. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a stand mixer, whip butter for about 2 minutes on medium.
Turn mixer on low and slowly add granulated sugar until combined. Add egg until fully combined. Add vanilla extract until fully combined. Add baking powder until fully combined.
Slowly add flour in slowly until fully combined and dough appears light and fluffy. Place dough on a floured cutting board and roll out until the dough is about ¼” thick.
Use frame-shaped cookie cutter to make 12 cookies out of the dough. Place them on your baking sheet. Use rectangle cookie cutter to hollow out the center of each of the 12 frames.
Add crushed Jolly Ranchers to the center of 8 of the cookies.
Bake for 7-8 minutes until candy is melted completely and cookies are firm. Set on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make cookie stacks. Group two candy filled cookies and one empty frame cookie together. Add ghost icing decoration and sprinkles on top of one candy cookie, top with candy-less cookie and place the remaining candy filled cookie on top using frosting to adhere them together.
Use frosting to adhere skull sprinkle to the top center of the front of each cookie stack.
Use food brush to paint gold cake paint onto each cookie stack and let set.
Recipe makes 4 cookie stacks. Enjoy immediately (best) or store cookies in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
So grab this cookie recipe and get ready to get your haunt on!
