Easy Halloween Cookies Recipe

With Halloween later this month, we’re bringing you a simple dessert idea that’s sure to wow at your next Halloween party. These bootiful desserts are made with store-bought cookies, so the effort needed is minimal 😊

All you’ll need is a package or two of your favorite sandwich cookies, a tube of store-bought icing, chocolate (chocolate melting wafers work best), and festive sprinkles.

Ingredients:

• Chocolate melting wafers
• Halloween sprinkles
• Wilton® Cookie Icing
• Sandwich cookies
• toothpick or cookie needle

Melt the chocolate wafers according to the directions on the package. Pop the cookie icing into the microwave according to the directions on the package. Tip: Place cookies on parchment paper before decorating for easy cleanup. 

Decorate as desired! Really; it’s that easy! We recommend working with fun Halloween-themed sprinkles, which include googly eyes that’ll turn your cookies into spooky creatures.

To create the spider-web design, dip the cookies face-down into the melted chocolate and pipe three circles on top of it using the cookie icing (one solid circle in the middle, one bigger circle outlining the center one, and one circle along the outside edge of the cookie).

Once the icing has set a bit (about 30 seconds), use the toothpick to drag from the center circle out to the edges of the cookie to create a webbed effect.
