9 Fun Halloween Cookie Recipes

Posted by Nina on October 26th, 2009 at 11:28am

Believe it or not, Halloween is almost upon us.   We all know what that means:  Sweets!  Sure, the kids get to go trick-or-treating to get their candy, but it’s really just as much fun to stay inside and bake Halloween cookies together.  After all, homemade Halloween cookies are the best!  Sure, there are those who favor disgusting Halloween cookies like edible spiders (eek!), but I’m more of a traditionalist at heart, preferring cookies like these whipped shortbread cookies that you can decorate for just about any holiday you like.

I’ve scoured the Web for some other fun Halloween cookie recipes to share with you, and here are the Halloween cookies I hope you’ll consider making with your family:

• Tami’s Mummy Halloween Cookies — They’re too cute to be scary!
• Frankenstein’s Monster Toes Halloween Cookies — Yummy and nut-free, so even those allergic to nuts can enjoy.
• Witch’s Broomstick Halloween Cookies — Kids and adults will love cleaning up with these.
• Halloween Pumpkin Spice Cookies — Now that Halloween is coming around the corner, this is a perfect recipe for you to have in your cookbook.
• Spider Eyes Halloween Cookies — Cookies are good any time, and when you add Cocoa Puffs to the mix, they’re fantastic!
• Leslie’s Decorated Halloween Cookies —They certainly fall into the “fun Halloween cookie recipes” category!
• Tiffany’s Pumpkin Blossom Cookies – If you love pumpkin pie, you’ll go nuts for these Halloween cookies.

There’s still plenty of time for you to get to the store and get any ingredients you might need to make these fun, homemade Halloween cookies.  You can even make your first batch tonight…but if your house is like mine, don’t expect these Halloween cookies to last all the way until Halloween!
