Easy peasy Halloween-themed cookies!

Aside from the great taste, these cookies fill your house with the smell of cinnamon – who doesn’t want a house smelling like that?! They’re really easy to make and only take about 15-18 minutes to cook, and you can decorate them with writing icing, or a mixture of fondant and writing icing. I used writing icing for everything, but I’m definitely using white fondant icing next time because my hands hurt from squeezing the tubes…

This recipe makes 12 small cookies. I actually somehow managed to bake my hair into one of them HA, so I actually only had 11 in the end. If you want 12, it’s simple, don’t bake your hair into them. OK, so now we’ve cleared that up, you will need…

Ingredients

  • 100g plain gluten-free flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 75g butter

Method

  1. Line your baking tray with baking paper
  2. Preheat your oven to 180C/Gas mark 4
  3. Mix all your ingredients in a bowl (I know, how easy!)
  4. Use your hands to bring the mixture into a dough
  5. To stop my mixture sticking to the work surface, (because we all know what gluten-free mixture is like), I flour a sheet of baking paper and roll my dough on this
  6. Use your cookie cutter of choice to cut out each cookie, placing each one as you go onto the baking tray
  7. Set your oven timer for 15 minutes at first and check on them at intervals – they don’t take much to burn!
  8. Set aside on a wire rack, and leave to cool completely before decorating them with your Halloween characters of choice!

P.S. I found the mummy and the eyeballs the easiest out of the cookie decorations below. Dracula? Don’t even go there!

    Love the cookies! I just did superhero cookies with a Williams and Sonoma cookie cutter. After the disappointment of them not turning out, I found your post. Halloween saved 😉 Thanks for the tutorial.
