Packaged candy always takes center stage, but cookies are a perfect Halloween treat. Pumpkin-shaped cookies and ginger-spiced favorites make colorful, tasty displays for your Halloween party buffet table.
Classic Cut-Outs
Collect your cookie cutters: use a chocolate dough for bats, witches' hats, black cats and spiders. Sugar cookie dough makes perfect pumpkins, owls, ghosts, bones and skulls. Both types can be frosted and decorated. Try making Stained Glass Cookies in jack o'lantern shapes with glowing yellow eyes and grins.
Bar Cookies
Bar cookies add a soft, chewy texture and visual interest to cookie platters.
Fall Flavors
Ginger, pumpkin and cranberries are cool-weather delights.
More Halloween Treats
Make Witches' Fingers by piping finger-shaped cookies. Press whole blanched almonds or sliced almonds onto the ends to make fingernails. Frost if desired.
