11 Spooky Christmas Cookies Halloween Christmas Mix

Ghostly Gingerbread Cookies

Ghostly Gingerbread Cookies are a fun and festive treat to make during the holiday season. These whimsical cookies are shaped like friendly ghosts and are perfect for decorating with icing and sprinkles. They not only taste deliciously spiced but also bring a hauntingly delightful touch to your Christmas cookie platter.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add Molasses and Egg: Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue to beat until everything is well integrated.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the dough; it should be soft but not sticky.
6. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two sections, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 hour. This helps the cookies maintain their shape when baking.
7. Roll Out the Dough: Once chilled, remove one section of the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
8. Cut Out Ghost Shapes: Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place each ghost on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn lightly brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate the Cookies: Once cooled, use royal icing to decorate the cookies. Pipe icing to give them ghostly faces, and use the black decorating gel to create eyes and mouth.
11. Serve or Store: Enjoy your ghostly gingerbread cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Creating these Ghostly Gingerbread Cookies is a fantastic way to combine festive flavors with spooky fun! Happy baking!

5. Drizzle White Chocolate: Carefully drizzle the melted white chocolate over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Use a toothpick or a spatula to swirl the two chocolates together gently for a marbled effect.
6. Add Crushed Candy Canes: Take the crushed candy canes and sprinkle them evenly over the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring they cover the surface.
7. Sprinkle Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for an added flavor contrast.
8. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the bark to chill for at least 30 minutes or until fully set.

9. Create Spider Web Design: Once the cookies are completely cooled, take a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off) and fill it with the melted white chocolate. Drizzle the white chocolate over each cookie in a circular motion to create a spider web effect. Start from the center and work your way outward, drawing lines that connect back to the center.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.

9. Prepare Icing (Optional): In a bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk to achieve a smooth icing consistency. If desired, divide the icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring for decoration.
10. Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, use the icing to create fun facial features on the skulls. Let the icing set before serving.

Topped with a chocolate glaze and tantalizing bat wings made from chocolate, these brownie bites are certain to be the star of your spooky dessert table!

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
2. Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly before mixing in the sugars to avoid cooking the eggs.
3. Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; when you see no more flour, stop.

7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake to guarantee they remain fudgy.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Chocolate Glaze: In a small bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of each brownie bite into the melted chocolate glaze and let any excess drip off.
10. Create Bat Wings (Optional): For an extra spooky touch, use melted chocolate to create bat wings on parchment paper. Let them cool and harden, then gently place them into the frosting of the brownie bites.
11. Decorate: If desired, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top of the glazed brownie bites for added texture and visual appeal.
12. Serve: Once everything is set and decorated, arrange the Batwing Brownie Bites on a platter and watch them vanish from your spooky dessert table! Enjoy!

Chilling Snowman Cake Pops

Chilling Snowman Cake Pops are an adorable and festive treat that will bring joy to your holiday celebrations. These bite-sized delights consist of moist cake blended with frosting, shaped into snowman forms, and coated with white chocolate for a delightful snowy finish. Perfect for parties or as a fun family activity, these cake pops are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike!

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake: Begin by baking the cake according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow it to cool completely before crumbling it into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix with Frosting: Add 1 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until the cake crumbs are fully coated. The mixture should be moist but not overly sticky.
3. Shape the Cake Pops: Take a small amount of the cake mixture and roll it into a ball approximately 1 inch in diameter. Then, slightly flatten the ball to form a snowman body. For the head, roll another smaller ball and set it aside.
4. Insert Lollipop Sticks: Melt a small amount of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then gently insert it into the bottom of the larger cake ball (the body). Attach the smaller ball (the head) on top of the body, securing it with the melted chocolate. Repeat for the remaining cake pops.
5. Chill the Cake Pops: Place the assembled cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a container filled with rice. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the cake pops to set.
6. Melt the White Chocolate: Once chilled, melt 2 cups of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth. Make sure it’s not too hot so it doesn’t crack when dipped.
7. Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
8. Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, attach two mini chocolate chips for the eyes and an orange candy piece for the nose. If desired, you can also add other assorted candies for accessories like scarves or hats.
9. Let Them Set: Place the decorated cake pops back into the styrofoam block to set for about 10-15 minutes or until the white chocolate has hardened completely.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your Chilling Snowman Cake Pops are ready to be served! They can be enjoyed right away or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Happy holidays!
