So, after I transformed vanilla sugar wafer cookies into back to school pencil cookies, I started brainstorming other fun ways to decorate my favorite crunchy little cookies. So rest assured, this is not the last time you will see sugar wafer cookies (or creme wafer cookies) here at Shaken Together!
Because ya'll ... did you see those quirky little faces?! Can't handle the cuteness of these green guys ...

How to Make Frankenstein Cookies
Once the candy melts are melted, dip your cookie. I used a popsicle stick to scrape off any excess and smooth out the chocolate if necessary.
Then, spoon chocolate jimmies over the top ⅓ of each cookie for Frankenstein's hair.
Use a pair of food safe tweezers to place two eyeballs.
Finally, add a chocolate jimmie for the mouth.
This is where each Sugar Wafer Frankenstein Cookie comes to life ...
It's Alive!!!
I love the different expressions you can give each little Frankenstein depending on the shape and tilt of the sprinkles!
Allow the cookies to set up before handling. Since FL is so hot and humid, I normally pop chocolate dipped sweets in the fridge to chill and speed up the setting process. But I have learned NOT to do that with any treats using candy eyeballs. The black food coloring will get damp and bleed/run, ruining all of your hard work.
And these cute little monsters are way too much fun to have watery, running eyes!

Jayne says
Do you have any idea how long these last? How much ahead of Halloween can I make these? I want to make some for seniors in our meals program but am too busy 3 days ahead of it since we are feeding 80. I have soup to make, a lot of prep work, etc. If I made these 5 days ahead would they get soggy or anything?
Melissa Riker says
I have not tried making them that for in advance Jayne but I do not think they would go stale or soggy because it's just a candy coating. To be safe you may want to try a test batch ahead of time but I think they would be fine stored in an airtight container.

Great and cute idea.
