Halloween is my favorite time of year after Christmas and I love baking and decorating Halloween Cookies. This year, I did new cookies such as Bride of Frankenstein, Spider Web, Witch Face, Pumpkin Candy Bucket, Ghost with Feet, Witch and Tombstone Wafer Designs, Eye Monster and Mummy.

Ghosts, Spider Webs, Mummy, Witch Silhouettes

I baked up a batch of Vanilla Sugar Cookies and ended up with 5/12 dozen cookies as seen in this post and the previous Halloween posts. To make all these cookies, I split it up in two days.

Bats, Ravens, Ouija piece, Owls

On the first day, I make the dough and bake the cookies and on the second day, I make a large batch of Royal Icing and make all the colors I need and decorate the cookies.

I always let the cookies dry overnight before I put them in gift bags/tins. This step is crucial. See links below for the cookie and icing recipes.
