Step-By-Step Directions

Curly Hair: Pipe thick layer of frosting on hairline. Press 4 to 5 mini pretzel twists into frosting. Add additional frosting if needed and add another layer of pretzels so that the pretzels are positioned on top and between the pretzels of the first layer. Repeat for third layer of pretzel "ringlets".

Straight Hair: Pipe frosting on hairline. Break pretzel sticks to desired hair length. Press "hair" into frosting for desired fullness. To attach eyes, pipe frosting dots onto back of two caramel candies for each cookie and press onto cookie at the desired spot. Add small dot of frosting to the center of each "eye". *Royal Icing may also be used. It will dry harder and stronger than most frosting.

Royal Icing: Stir together 2-1/4 cups powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon pasteurized dried egg whites (meringue powder). Add 3 tablespoons warm water. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until spreadable. Add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if too thick. Divide icing into small bowls for each color desired and tint with food coloring. Transfer icing to pastry bags with desired tip. Cover icing and tips of pastry bags with damp paper towels to keep icing from drying out. (Some garnishes may need a firmer icing to hold their shape. Stir in small amounts of additional powdered sugar to get desired consistency). 1 cup icing.
