Halloween Cookie Ideas

Making fun food crafts for the holidays is always so much fun to do. I especially love Halloween food treats like these and other Halloween treats like these ghost-shaped cupcakes, Frankenstein cupcakes, and Hocus Pocus Brownies.

The kids and I pulled out the big candy stash to see what we could do to make some monster cookies. Truthfully, I didn’t bake any of these from scratch. We had a lot of fun getting creative in the kitchen with some store-bought cookies and cookie dough.

You won’t find me making royal icing or using cookie cutters for the cookies that I made. I used store-bought cookie icing, frosting, and every other easy shortcut, plus piping tips and fun googly eyes, to make fun Halloween cookies.
