3 Halloween Cookie Recipes That Will Make You Scream
Halloween weekend calls for spooky bakes, flour-covered counters, and cookies that look almost too creepy to eat. Whether you’re hosting a party, baking with your kids, or just want something fun to post on Instagram, these Halloween cookies are equal parts eerie and delicious.
So grab your mixing bowls and your favorite apron, because these three Halloween cookie recipes are frightfully fun and irresistibly good.
1. Spooky Eyeball Black Cocoa Cookies
Soft, rich, and jet black thanks to black cocoa, these cookies are watching you… literally. Topped with candy eyeballs that peek out from the dark chocolatey dough, they’re the perfect eerie treat for your Halloween dessert table.
Why you’ll love it: The deep cocoa flavor is bold and sophisticated, but the candy eyes make them just creepy enough to get a laugh (or a scream).
2. Spooky Ghost Sugar Cookies
A classic sugar cookie gets a ghostly glow-up with royal icing and a simple shape that even the littlest bakers can decorate. Sweet, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth soft, these are the cookies that will disappear before you can say boo.
Why you’ll love it: They’re fun to decorate with kids and make your kitchen smell like pure magic.
3. Spooky Black Cocoa Mummy Cookies
These mummies are anything but scary once you take a bite. Made with rich black cocoa dough and wrapped in sweet white chocolate drizzle “bandages,” they’re chewy, dramatic, and dangerously good.
Why you’ll love it: They look like a craft project but taste like a bakery masterpiece.
Whether you’re baking for trick-or-treaters, a classroom party, or just a cozy night in, these Halloween cookie recipes bring the perfect mix of spooky and sweet. Bake one or bake them all for a weekend full of fun, frosting, and frightful flavor.
