Let’s Make Halloween Cookies!

Halloween is approaching, and what better occasion to have fun in the kitchen making lots of themed cookies? With spooky shapes, imaginative decorations, and details that bring a smile, you can turn simple treats into the stars of the party. Imagine a tray full of monstrous cookies to offer during classic trick-or-treating or to share with friends. Get inspired and prepare a surprise everyone can nibble on: on Halloween, even fear can be deliciously sweet!

Ghost cookies are little vanilla shortcrust pastry treats that look as if they came straight out of a charming ghost story! With their little eyes and wide-open mouths, covered with a light dusting of powdered sugar, they win you over at first sight. And do you know the trick to making them? All you need is a heart-shaped cutter! Have fun preparing them for Halloween and package them in clear bags to give to little ones on trick-or-treat night.

Witch fingers are vanilla shortcrust cookies with such a creepy look they almost seem real! Each finger has its little wrinkles, a fingernail made from a blanched almond, and a touch of raspberry jam that creates a surprising bloody effect. But behind that frightening appearance is a treat just waiting to be nibbled! Have fun shaping them with the kids and bring them to the table for Halloween: will you be able to convince your guests to taste them?

Skull cookies are crumbly, fragrant hazelnut shortbread cookies with a truly frightening look! What makes them so distinctive are their sunken eyes, barely suggested nose, and above all the teeth made with pine nuts, which give each cookie a monstrous expression. Making them is also a chance to have fun in the kitchen with the kids, letting imagination take the lead. Arrange them on a tray for the Halloween buffet: between a treat and a trick, these little skulls are sure to make an impression!

Witch hats are chocolate treats that look as if they came out of a magic potion! Their shape hides a delicious surprise: a cocoa shortcrust cookie base topped with a cone of creamy chocolate ganache, all covered in dark chocolate. Licorice decorations complete these little hats, making them even more eye-catching. Have fun preparing them and bring them to the table for Halloween: they will especially win over chocolate lovers!

Two-tone cocoa and pumpkin cookies hide a sweet surprise behind their spooky little faces! Two layers of shortcrust pastry, one light pumpkin layer and one dark cocoa layer, enclose a strawberry jam filling, creating a pleasant contrast of flavors. But the most fun detail is the eyes and mouths cut into the pastry, just like Halloween pumpkins! Crumbly, colorful, and original, they are a fun idea to prepare for filling the treat basket on the most monstrous night of the year.
