You will need:

- Yellow food coloring
- Black food writer
- Pink food writer
- Red jumbo heart sprinkles

- Cut shapes from chilled cookie dough using ghost and candy corn cutters.
- For ghosts: frost each ghost with white royal icing, let dry overnight, then add faces with food writers.
- For candy corn: tint portions of royal icing orange and yellow. Frost the top third of the cookie with white icing and let it set about 15 minutes, then frost the middle with orange icing and the bottom with yellow. Allow to dry overnight, then add faces with a black food writer.
- Place finished cookies in treat bags and tie with ribbon if desired.
Ghost Cookies
Not every child enjoys spooky decorations, so these kid-friendly ghost cookies are perfect. They’re simple to decorate—smooth white icing and tiny faces inspired by the icing decorations make them irresistibly cute.
I love the playful sayings Wilton uses on coordinating items—“Haunt it like you got it!” is one of my favorites.
Matching treat bags make these cookies ideal party favors or classroom treats.
Candy Corn Cookies
Candy corn cookies are just as fun to decorate. For a playful twist, swap the usual colors for bright green and purple to mix things up.
These sweet candy corn designs turned out so charming they’re almost frightening—in the best way.
Packaging the cookies in matching treat bags makes a thoughtful party favor or a fun office gift—both kids and adults will appreciate them.
I hope you enjoy making these Too Cute to Spook Halloween Cookies as much as I did!
