Halloween is a time for fun, festivities, and spooky treats. These Halloween sugar cookies are a perfect addition to your holiday celebrations, with their festive shapes and delicious taste. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite Halloween decorations.

Nutrition Facts (per cookie):

  • Calories: 150
  • Fat: 8g
  • Carbohydrates: 22g
  • Protein: 2g

Yields: Approximately 20 cookies Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 10-13 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (480g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (200g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Halloween sprinkles or decorations

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.  

For the icing:

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • confectioners sugar (450g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Beat egg whites on medium-low speed in a stand mixer or large mixing basin until foamy, about 1 minute. Slowly include vanilla and confectioners’ sugar while running the mixer on low speed.

After everything is properly combined, accelerate to a medium-high pace and beat until shiny, stiff peaks form. Spoon icing into small bowls; if desired, tint with gel food coloring. (Since icing dries out rapidly, keep any that aren’t being used right away covered with plastic wrap).

    These Halloween sugar cookies are a festive and delicious treat that is sure to be a hit at your Halloween party. With their simple ingredients and easy preparation, they are perfect for bakers of all levels. Enjoy these spooky delights and have a happy Halloween!
