I don't know why I never thought of making Hallowe'en cookies like this:
They look like gingerbread, but actually the cookies are made of chocolate cookie dough. Any cookie dough you can roll out and cut with cookie cutters would work. A dark cookie makes the white icing jump out, but you could use dark icing on a light cookie, too.
But let's talk about the anatomical details. I'm pretty sure most humanoids don't have coiled ribcages like this. Sure, the icing flows efficiently that way ... but I can't help but wondering if these guys bounce more than other skeletons. Maybe this kind of ribcage is an effective shock absorber?

One of the biggest advantages that home-cooked foods have over store-bought goods is time. Commercial products have to be shelf-stable, so…
As I mentioned earlier, the sprogs and I decided to try our hands at building an entry for the contest to build a gingerbread house using sustainable building design practices. We read up on principles of sustainable design and stocked up on unsulfured molasses and powdered sugar.
Here's what we…
My reviewers commenters on yesterday's post on chocolate chip cookie deformation had some great points. (Some of them also seem to have been very hungry. For those who want me to experiment more, and to get to analyze the results: looks like I've got something that I can promise once the Donors…
I touched a nerve in another post by mentioning molecular biology kits.
Let's face it. Cloning kits, sequencing kits, and their relatives are the laboratory equivalent of frozen cookie dough.
With frozen cookie dough, anyone can bake hot, steamy, chocolate chip cookies that taste great. You don…
Those are obviously Tiggers...
Wow, they certainly look tasty. Perhaps there's a skeleton stencil that would allow for a more correct version of the skeleton. I'm a little concerned about their shoulders....
I would think the attachment of one leg to the ribcage would cause discomfort when jogging. On the other hand, maybe it helps pump air in and out of the lungs.
We did the same thing with gingerbread tho'!
Those are fabulous. And if you have any smart alec kids who insist it's incorrect, you can ask them to propose an alternative environment, such as a high gravity planet, in which a Slinky Skeleton would be adaptive.
