This is one of those recipes that started as another idea that morphed into it’s own standalone recipe. Honestly, these little ghosties turned out so cute and were super easy to make, that I made three batches of these buggers topped with sea salt but imagine mixing up the flavors and topping with Everything Bagel seasoning or sesame seeds. Yum! Using a pizza cutter makes quick work of creating fun ghost shapes, but in one batch I used ghost cookie cutters to cut out mini crackers as well. I like the rustic whimsical look of the irregular shaped ghosts best, but using all of them together is a fun feast for the eyes. Enjoy!

Instructions

- Add flour, salt, sugar, and rosemary into a medium bowl and whisk together. Add oil and water and mix until combined. Turn out on to parchment paper and roll out to ~⅛-inch thickness.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut random shapes to create whimsical ghosts out of the dough. Crossing other lines to create the heads and/or tails of the ghosts. Don't worry if they are all different sizes, that's the fun of it. Use two different size straws to cut out eyes and mouths.
