By 86 Comments

With Halloween right around the corner, I thought I would share how to turn an everyday double chocolate cookie into a Halloween Monster cookies that’s an easy party-ready, trick or treating delight.

I know we are all pretty busy, but it doesn’t take much and doing just a little baking makes everyone that much happier. Given that, I’m sharing my simple Halloween cookie trick of adding royal icing eyes and a few orange and yellow chocolate covered candies for a festive finish to this classic double chocolate cookie. How easy is that?

    Ok, how perfect are those? And hooray for no crazy fondant work because heaven knows I cannot do that! haha

    These are absolutely adorable!! Never mind the fact that they’re extra chocolaty (and peanut butter too?? swoon!), which is beyond perfect for a chocoholic like me! The only Halloween-themed cookies I ever got growing up were those bland sugar cookie ones shaped like jack-o-lanterns with orange sugar crystals from the grocery store bakery. I only ate about one of those, but I’d be tempted to hoard half the batch of these cute monsters!

    Love these, and I love the idea that you can swap the colours of the sweets so they’d fit with other holidays too! I want to try them but I can’t think of a corn syrup alternative- we don’t have it in the UK!

    Hi Naomi, These are so cute! I love the idea of adding googly eyes to make the cookie more festive! Did you bake the cookies with the googly eyes on them or did you adhere them afterwards with frosting? Wasn’t sure how the googly eyes handled the heat. Thank you! Lauren
