My Ava is always the best helper- and taste tester!

Open cookies and spread frosting inside.

Press 5-6 candy corn, white tip side down, in the frosting so that the ends of the candy corn are visible outside of the cookie.

Press the top cookie back on then frost the top of the cookie.

 

 Sprinkle on gold sanding sugar then add 2 candy eyeballs in the center.

Use the writing icing to add a mouth (be careful to add a little amount- it spreads).

Serve this happy treat for a summer picnic, eclipse party, space themed movie night, or just because!
