Pro Tip Notes and Timesaver Shortcuts
- For best results, place cookie on parchment paper or a wire rack before frosting.
- Store cookies in food storage boxes or airtight containers.
- Make sure your hands are dry when applying the candy eyes. If they are wet, the eyes will easily smear.
- You can also use white chocolate chips instead of vanilla candy melts.
- As a fun variation you can make cookie pops with lollipop sticks.
- You can use a different kind of cookie to make these - chocolate chip or oatmeal work well. You can also make these with Milano cookies or nutter butter cookies.
Piping Tips
- Ensure that the melts are used quickly because they dry fast.
- Use a number 2 round tip.
- use disposable piping bags.
