Halloween Sugar Cookies

This recipe is the perfect idea for a gift for Halloween. You can wrap them in plastic and tie them with a themed bow to give to your friends and family. These simple and quick cookies are so good with a yummy chocolate coating. It is like candy corn blown up into a bigger size!

Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Flour: Use all-purpose flour for the best results along with baking powder to allow the cookies to rise in the oven.

Extract: To add flavor to these cookies you will need pure vanilla and almond extract. Using pure will give the strongest flavor.

Food Coloring: You will need to color the cookie batter with orange food coloring. Specifically, squirt gel so it blends easily.

Chocolate Chips: You will need milk chocolate chips to dip one end and white chocolate to dip the other.

How To Make Candy Cane Sugar Cookies

Step 1. Set the oven to 375 degrees. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Put the butter and sugar into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Put the egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract into the mixing bowl and combine well. Pour in half of the dry ingredients and combine. Put in the milk and the remaining dry ingredients and combine again until fully incorporated. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill until firm.

Step 2. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick between sheets of plastic wrap. Place on a sheet lined with parchment paper leaving about 2-inches. Place in the oven for 9-11 minutes to bake. Add the chocolate chips to a heat-safe bowl with 1 tsp of shortening and melt in 30-second intervals. Mix between each increment until smooth and fully melted. Repeat with the white chocolate and add 1 tsp of shortening to that as well. Dip the cookies into the prepared milk chocolate on one end and the other end in the white. Let it rest on parchment paper until firm. Serve and enjoy!

Decorating Candy Corn Cookies?

If you want to make these cookies pop, even more, you can add sprinkles on top. I recommend using candy corn-colored sprinkles like orange and white. You will need to make sure to add the sprinkles before the chocolate hardens. You can also drizzle more chocolate in the middle of the cookies if desired.

How To Store Candy Corn Sugar Cookies?

Place the leftover cookies in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for the best storage method. These cookies can be stored at room temperature or placed in the freezer to last up to 3 months.

Tips & Tricks

Its best to roll the dough and put the dough in the oven in a cold room because the dough will soften quickly in high temperatures. If the dough becomes too soft, put it in the fridge or freezer to firm up.

Once you dip the cookies the chocolate may begin to harden, place it in the microwave for more than 10 seconds to re-melt and mix until smooth.
