Halloween Cookies

Making spooky Halloween cookies is so simple and fun. All you have to do is tweak your basic sugar cookie recipe, find some creepy cookie cutters in Halloween animal shapes, and decorate.

These were a big hit at our last Halloween party.

Chocolate Halloween Cookies Recipe

Chocolate Halloween cookies



Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled) plus more for rolling and cutting out dough
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • Small candies or sprinkles, for decorating (optional)


Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg. On low speed, mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half, and form into 2 disks, each about 3/4 inch thick. Wrap disks in plastic; chill until firm, at least 45 minutes and up to 2 days.
  3. On a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough 1/4 inch thick. (If dough becomes too soft to work with, refrigerate for a few minutes.)
  4. Using 2- to 3-inch Halloween cookie cutters, cut out shapes, dipping cutters in flour as necessary to prevent sticking; place on a baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake until surface is dry to the touch, 10 to 15 minutes (if decorating, press candies into dough halfway through baking). Cool cookies 1 to 2 minutes on baking sheet; transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve, or store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Dog Halloween Costumes

Dog Halloween Costumes
Holidays are fun for the whole family - even your dog. Dress your dog up in a silly costume, create a costume that compliments your own, make some doggie treats for your dog, go to a local costumed parade for pets. Whatever you do, make sure it's safe (never leave your dog unattended in a costume) and be sure to take plenty of pictures!

    Oh, yeah, now we're talking! I absolutely love Halloween cookies. Doesn't make one bit of difference how they taste, for me, it is all about the looks. That owl cookie cutter is really sharp, hahaha, I crack myself up sometimes :)
