Easy Halloween Cookies

Making these Halloween cookies is a snap. Use store bought cookies to serve up some Halloween Fun.

Each of these cookies only take a minute or two to prepare yet they're cute and creative.

Make cute cookies that resemble witches hats.

Spider web and spider cookies are great for school parties.

The black cat cookies are almost too cute to eat! ALMOST!

Halloween Black Cat Cookies

• fudge round cookies
• chocolate frosting
• almond slices
• red or pink writing gel icing
• licorice twists
• candy sprinkles
• Optional: candy corn

Frost the top of the fudge round cookies.
Frost the almonds with red or pink gel icing.

Attach almonds to the top of the frosted cookie.
You can also use whole pieces of candy corn to form the ears.

Place a candy sprinkle in the center of the cookie to be the cats' nose.
You can cut the tip off a candy corn to use for the nose.

Place two round candy sprinkles to create the cats' eyes.
You can also cut the yellow bottom section from a candy corn to use as the cats' eyes.

Add a few pieces of licorice string to the face to create whiskers.
If you can't find shoestring licorice, you can use licorice twists cut into thin strips.

Spiderweb Cookies

• fudge round cookies
• white writing gel icing
• chocolate frosting
• plastic spider ring

Frost tops of the fudge round cookies.
Using white writing gel and starting in the middle of the cookie draw a continuous circle to the outside edge of the cookie.

Use a knife and starting in the center of the cookie, draw the knife through the frosting from the center to the outer eddge.
I like to wipe the knife off after each time it's drawn through the frosting.

Add a spider ring to the top of the cookie and you have some really fun and super easy Halloween cookies!

Halloween Spider Cookie

• chocolate sandwich cookies
• licorice strings
• white icing
• writing gel icing: white
• black candy sprinkles
• Optional: writing gel icing: red

Carefully open the sandwich cookie.
Cut licorice strings so that they hang over the edge of the cookie a little bit.

Place licorice strings onto the frosting already in the cookie.
Add a touch more frosting so that when you put the top back onto the cookie it will settle down without breaking.

Put two white dabs of white writing gel at the tip of the cookie to form the eyes.
Add a black sprinkle to each of the white dabs to finish the spiders' eyes.

Optional: add an hourglass shape to the back end of the Halloween spider cookie to create a black widow spider.

Wafer Pumpkin Cookie

Shown at the top left and right of the cat cookie in the picture.

• wafer cookies
• orange frosting
• gummy worms or green gumdrops

Place a big glob of frosting onto the flat side of a wafer cookie.
Top with another wafer cookie.

Put a dab of frosting on a green piece of gummy worm and apply to the top of the joined wafer cookies.

Witches Hat Cookies

• fudge rounds cookies
• chocolate kisses unwrapped
• orange frosting
• candy star sprinkles

Glue the chocolate kiss to the center of the cookie using the orange frosting.
Do this on the flat back side of the cookie.

Pipe orange frosting around the base of the chocolate kiss to form a ribbon for the hat.
Add a candy star to the ribbon of the hat.

These are by far my favorite easy Halloween cookies to make. They take very little time and very little cash to make, yet they're great looking.

Halloween Pumpkin Cookie

Shown at the bottom left in the picture.

• sandwich cookies
• small stick pretzels
• yellow writing gel

Break pretzel stick in half.
Poke it into the top of the sandwich cookie to form a pumpkin stem.

Use the writing gel to form a pumpkin face.
