To make these Stick Man cookies you'll need:
- Shop bought cookies (or homemade)
- White royal icing or fondant
- Green fondant icing
- Cadbury’s Flake 99 or similar
- Black royal icing

Directions:
- Place your cookies on a clean surface and pipe on the white royal icing. Spread the icing until it meets the edges. Leave this to set.
Cut the flake in half lengthwise and place it in the middle of the royal icing, leaving room for some legs and feet. Use the other half to make two arms, two legs and two feet.
Next, cut two small leaves out of the green fondant.
Secure your flake Stick Man to the cookie using a dollop of royal icing. Add the leaves to Stick Man’s head.
- Now it’s time to add his features. Simply use the white icing sugar for the white of his eye and the black for his mouth and eyebrows.
