How to make a Monster High Cookie
Monster High Cookies ready to be delivered.
This post will show you how I made the Monster High Cookies… this was a very fun project and will be used as a Birthday party favor.
You will need:
1) Royal icing – thick consistency black for outlining (please make at least one day ahead, the charcoal color will change to black overnight. The recipe for Royal Icing is found here.
2) Royal icing – medium consistency using the 20 second icing by Sweetsugarbelle found here.
3) Royal icing – medium consistency for the bow, I was able to match the image with a mix of Americolor Electric pink and Lilac. I used Sweetsugarbelle’s 20 Second Icing because I wanted to bow to stand up and add dimension. See link above.
4) White flood royal icing for the face.
5) Monster High logo template and a paper plate
6) I used the KopyKake 300xk because I wanted them perfect.
Prepare template for dough – I’ve been using the back of a paper plate.
Cut out dough, the shape doesn’t have to be perfect.
Outline bow and face using a larger tip. I used a Wilton size 3.
Let the black outline dry completely – you don’t want bleeding of the black into the white. Β The timing just depends on your climate – in my dry climate I only need to wait about 45 minutes to continue decorating.
Flood the bow with pink. This is the fun part, it’s like playing on those computer games where you click to dump the color in.
Wait about 30 minutes and fill the in the white area.
A couple of hours later I outlined the eyes and filled in with the medium consistency black icing.
Let these cookies dry for about 24 hrs before packaging.
Here it is, a foggy 2am photo of the cookie.
We did alright making them all look exactly the same. I love mass production. Zero creativity required.
I love the way they looked packaged and ready to go.
My little three year old Timmy saw these and said, “What happened to Hello Kitty???”
with this icing do you not have to worry about bleeding??
yes you do have to worry about bleeding, i waited almost 24 hrs for the black to dry. Making the black ahead of time helps because it gives the color time to develop… so there is less dye all together. If you make black at the last minute you're doomed. Of the 24 I noticed a small tiny hint of bleeding on the bottom of one, but overall it was okay.
I mean I waited about 24 hrs for the outline to dry before flooding, I'm in phoenix, arizona so the arid climate helps a lot.
Love the tutorial! Amazing job Suzanne! I'm very curious about the trays you have the cookies drying on – would you be willing to share what they are and where you got them? Those are trays I know I could put to good use!
I love the trays!!!! I make about 4-5 dozen bagels at a time and use them for fermenting the dough. They fit perfectly over a 1/4 sheet baking pan – it's like these but I get them at Business Costco (a dif. brand) and they are cheaper) – i love them!!! Do you dry your cookies covered or uncovered?

So, how much would you charge me to have a dozen made & shipped to zip code 94002? I'm a chef, who actually did take a month long pastry course in culinary school, but asmuch as I respect & am in awe of pastry chefs, I hate to bake. I'm a savory girl all the way, so I need to find someone who can make 12 monster high cookies EXACTLY like that for a somewhat reasonable rate π Please email me if you're willing & able.

Would you be willing to make 24 of these for me?!? I’ve been looking for them everywhere locally without any luck!
Could you please email me if you are willing?
You can send me an email to spaylor@msn.com if you would like more info. Thanks!
What are you using to trace them, It seems that the image is projected on the cookie
Hi, I’m using a KopyKake projector. It’s a huge contraption that projects an image on to a cookie or a cake. It’s big and bulky but it helps to get a perfect design. Thanks for looking π

Thank you for this tutorial! You’ve inspired me to try making them for my grand baby’s birthday in March. She’s all about monster high, but Mom & Dad are skeptics, LOL (leave it to Grama to make it happen) LOL
Let me know how it goes!! Girls Love Monster High!
Best wishes!

Kristina,
I normally use Royal icing – you can find the recipe linked to most cookie posts on this site.
Thanks for looking!

The cookies look nice! π My best friend Kairi loves Monster High and she really loves Clawdeen Wolf. She’s really into great days and I love Operetta. This is very cool. The cookies look very yummy. You’ll drool on them.
I Love Your Cookies!

Thanks Sierra!!
Thank you Sierra!
Im going to try if i cant make them ill email and order party is Jan 25th wish me luck tomorrow.:)
Delma,
Let me know how it goes. If you want you can make them ahead, allow them to dry completely and freeze the cookies. I get so busy around my kids’ birthdays that I never get to making them special sugar cookies.
Good luck!

If you wait 18 hours and then 24they will be stale
Holly,
I haven’t had a problem with the cookies getting stale. I usually keep them covered or in a sealed container. Once you get a layer of royal icing on the cookie the royal icing itself works as a preservative.
If you are worried about waiting that long use a fan, a dehydrator or even a small space heater to help the first layer dry quickly so you can decorate the entire cookie within 24 hours.
Good luck!

I’m trying to find out if I make the monster high cookies this weekend with the royal icing for the picture would it still be good for March 29th? even if I freeze it?
Angie,
It is fine to make the cookies ahead of time and freeze them. Just be careful as royal icing becomes more brittle in the freezer. Place them in a container where the icing will not break or get damaged from other foods. One way to be certain they are perfect is to add the details for the face the day before.
I made these weeks before thanksgiving and they were fine. There were a few where the names came off because I did not take good care of them in the freezer.
These are far from perfect as they were one of the first sets I made. Good to know freezing works. I never have time to make cookies when I am also planning a party.
