Top 5 Halloween Cookie Recipes

If you're planning Halloween treats, these five cookie ideas have you covered: a Halloween Cookie Selection Box of buttery sugar cookies - think witches' hats, pumpkins and tiny ouija planchettes - plus delicious Spider Cookies flavoured with orange and cinnamon and topped with sugar‑glass domes, clever Edible Chalkboard Cookies you can write on, wonderfully ghoulish Zombie Cookies and cheeky Misfortune Cookies hiding gloomy little fortunes. Bake one or bake them all - they're perfect for parties or a cosy night in.

1 - Halloween Cookie Selection Box

Celebrate Halloween with a mix of sweetness, spookiness and charm with this Halloween sugar cookie assortment box. This features designs like ouija board planchettes, witches hats, pumpkins, hangmen, autumn leaves and eerie messages. Whether you bake one or all of these cookies, you'll have everyone excited for these buttery cookies!

2 - Spider Cookies

This Halloween, don't be surprised if you spot a spider - on a cookie, that is! These delicious orange and cinnamon butter cookies feature spooky spider designs with options for realistic red-back spiders or whimsical fantasy ones. To complete the look, I added sugar glass domes that mimic the appearance of a spider specimen paperweight.

3 - Edible Chalkboard Cookies

This clever chalkboard cookie technique perfectly mimics the real thing! These Halloween chalkboard cookies will unleash your inner artist, whether you choose to scrawl a spooky Halloween message or a sweet note the possibilities are endless!

4 - Zombie Cookies

These are some of my favourite Halloween cookie creations. Inspired by the cover of Zilly Rosen's Zombie Cupcakes that features a murderous bride and her groom's severed head, I decided to create a Zombie Walk cookie just like the eerie scene you might stumble upon if you were ever to encounter zombies!

5 - Misfortune Cookies

These misfortune cookies put a Halloween spin on the classic fortune cookie, delivering gloomy news wrapped in a crisp, tasty fortune cookie. Despite the dire messages inside these are so much fun and you can customise all of the messages!

So tell me Dear Reader, which Halloween cookie would be your pick?
