Georgie the Ghost Halloween Cookies

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Cream butter and sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour sifted with baking powder and salt. Mix well. Chill. Roll 1/2 " thick and cut into Georgie shapes. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Frost


Frosting:

2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons milk

I applied the frosting with a knife. The frosting will dry smooth and harden.

I painted Georgie's face and buttons with black chocolate frosting, using a paintbrush.
