Halloween Cookies

By: Allrecipes Staff

Pumpkin cookies, caramel apple bars, gingersnaps and bat cut-outs: bake up a flavorful assortment of cookies for your Halloween gathering.

Autumn Party Drinks

Quench the coven's thirst with Witches' Brew, hot cider, or spicy Autumn Punch.

More Spooky Tips

Packaged candy always takes center stage, but cookies are a perfect Halloween treat. Pumpkin-shaped cookies and ginger-spiced favorites make colorful, tasty displays for your Halloween party buffet table.

Classic Cut-Outs

Collect your cookie cutters: use a chocolate dough for bats, witches' hats, black cats and spiders. Sugar cookie dough makes perfect pumpkins, owls, ghosts, bones and skulls. Both types can be frosted and decorated. Try making Stained Glass Cookies in jack o'lantern shapes with glowing yellow eyes and grins.

Bar Cookies

Bar cookies add a soft, chewy texture and visual interest to cookie platters.

Fall Flavors

Ginger, pumpkin and cranberries are cool-weather delights.

More Halloween Treats

Make Witches' Fingers by piping finger-shaped cookies. Press whole blanched almonds or sliced almonds onto the ends to make fingernails. Frost if desired.

Haunted Gingerbread House

Follow our step-by-step instructions for building your own spooky cookie house. You'll be the envy of every green-eyed monster on the block.

Those creepy finger cookies are listed as "Witch Finger Cookies". They are really neat and look to be easy to make.
