Halloween cookies add playful charm to the holiday. Ge creative and decorate with candy eyes, sprinkles, and icing in bold colours to create cookies that are as delightful as they are delicious.

Monster Cookies

Packed with M&M’s, chocolate chips, and perhaps even some candy eyes, these cookies can be decorated with coloured icing to create whimsical monster faces.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Pumpkin spice cookies are soft and fragrant, filled with the warming spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Decorate with green icing stems and add a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top.

Witch’s Fingers

For a touch of Halloween creepiness, try making witch’s finger cookies. Shaped like long, bony fingers, these almond-flour cookies have a slightly spooky appeal. 

Spider Web Cookies

Spider-web cookies bring a touch of elegance to the Halloween table. Using round cookies, create a spider web design by drizzling chocolate and white icing in a circular pattern, then dragging a toothpick through to form the web shape.

Ghost Cookies

Soft, fluffy ghost cookies are a cute addition to any Halloween spread. Their adorable, slightly spooky look makes them a hit with kids, and they add a playful Halloween vibe to your dessert table. 

Candy Corn Cookies

Shaped like the iconic candy, these cookies are layered with yellow, orange, and white icing or fondant, replicating the classic candy corn colours. You can stack them, arrange them in candy corn “piles,” or mix them into your cookie platter for a pop of colour.
