Cauldron Cookies

As we were sorting through our Halloween cookie cutters, I spotted a Christmas cutter that would work to make a witch's cauldron. I had never made a witch cauldron cookie, but I already had the finished cookie visualized in my mind.

I added a background color behind the handle (or Santa's hat) using purple frosting rather than royal icing and a Nutella broom stick handle to stir the potion.
