Jack Cookies for Halloween with Black Sesame. I love Halloween, and I'm a big fan of Jack Skellinton from the film "The Nightmare Before Christmas." I felt that the deep color of black sesame was better suited for these cookies, rather than cocoa. Use a black edible ink marker to draw the trees and bats. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of white stiff consistency royal icing over the jack-o-lanterns. Use the scribe tool to draw the faces of the jack-o-lanterns in the icing. Jack is the "Pumpkin King" of Halloween Town, a fantasy world based solely on the Halloween holiday.

Jack Cookies for Halloween with Black Sesame step by step

Sift the cake flour and set aside. Leave the unsalted butter out at room temperature..
Once the butter has softened, add sugar and mix into a cream..
Add sifted cake flour to Step 2 and mix, being careful not to over-mix. Once the dough is smooth and no longer lumpy that's enough..
Wrap it up in a bundle and store in the refrigerator for 30 minutes..
Take some of the dough and mix in your desired amount of black sesame paste to create the black-colored dough for the eyes and mouth..
Preheat your oven (It takes a while for the cookies to shape, so keep an eye on your oven)..
Take the plain dough and cut into circles of whatever thickness you like (in order to make the Jack face, I did it by hand, not using a cookie cutter)..
If you move them, you'll lose the shape, so it's safer to work on a baking sheet. Lay the cookies on the baking sheet..
Use the black dough to create eyes, a mouth, and nose-holes and stick them on the face..
Being careful not to smash the face, use wrapping on top of the cookie to get the black dough settled in with the rest of the face..
Bake in the oven at 300°F/150°C for 30 minutes. Adjust the temperature and cooking time depending on the condition..
While making them I got pretty tired and fed up with the process, so I used a cookie cutter for the last bits of dough. The black sesame dough is great for spiders!.
