  • Yield: 36 Cookies ( 18 Sandwiches)

Ingredients

For Cookies:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 sticks butter (2 cups), room temperature
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 1/4 cups flour

For Icing

  • 6 ounces warm water
  • 5 tablespoons meringue powder
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 pounds of powdered sugar
  • Brown Food Coloring
  • Cocoa Powder (Optional)

Decorating:

  • Candy Eyes
  • Piping Bags
  • Black Edible Marker

Filling Ideas:

  • Chocolate Ganache
  • White ButterCream
  • Chocolate Frosting

Instructions

For Cookies:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together cream cheese and butter.
  • Mix in sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg yolks one at a time and then add the vanilla. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients and add a little at a time to butter mixture.
  • Mix until flour is completely incorporated and the dough comes together. If it seems to not be coming together all the way in the bowl, dump it out onto a flat surface and knead until the dough comes together.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Roll cookies out to about 1/4 inch thickness (thicker or thinner depending on your preference)
  • Cut out squares.
  • Bake on un-greased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  • Lay them on a wire rack to cool

For Icing:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water and the meringue powder. Mix for about 30 seconds or until frothy.
  • Add in the cream of tartar and mix for 30 seconds more.
  • Pour in all the powdered sugar.
  • Using the paddle attachment on the LOWEST speed, mix slowly for a full 10 minutes.
  • Icing will get thick and creamy.
  • Tint Icing brown. You might need a lot of brown or you can add a touch of cocoa powder to make it as brown as you like. Don\'t add a lot though because it\'ll make the icing too dry.
  • Fill a piping bag with brown icing. Snip the end and and cover cookie squares with icing.
  • Add a candy eye to 1/2 of the spell book cookies and pipe a circle around the candy eye for an eye lid.
  • Let cookies dry completely .

To Decorate

  • Using an edible black marker, draw stitches on the cookies with the eyes.
  • Using the Eyeball Cookies as the tops and the plain brown cookies as the bottoms, match them up to create sandwiches.
  • Fill each cookie sandwich with your choice of filling.
  • Print
