They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.

Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a little staycation last week and it was everything I needed- relaxing, fun, and filled with so much good food! 😋

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶

How to Decorate Halloween Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you have been around here awhile then you know I am obsessed with making cookies. Especially seasonal cookies. I go all out for Christmastime and I thought why not do the same for Halloween this year too. So in today’s post I am going to share with you all how to decorate Halloween cookies easily!

You may remember I shared this process back awhile ago with my Easter sugar cookie recipe, but I figured it was time for an update! So if you’re wanting to make these cute cookies for a Halloween party, or just for some good ol Halloween fun, you’re going to want to try this recipe out.

Keep on reading to see just how you can create these easy Halloween sugar cookies yourself too! You don’t have to be a professional cookie decorator in order to make some super cute sugar cookies like this! 

Ghost Cookies

​Bake The Halloween Cookies

Before decorating the cookies, obviously we need to bake them first! I like to use my favorite sugar cookie recipe for this. It is my tried and true favorite. Anytime I make Christmas sugar cookies, I use this recipe too. It is not overly sweet, so it is a perfect recipe for when you want to decorate cookies with. And the sugar cookie dough is easy to work with and roll out. 

Before Baking Halloween Cookies
Also, I love using my Caraway Home baking sheets for cookies! The cookies literally slide right off! Best bakeware ever! Linking them below too!

This recipe makes for the perfect cut-out sugar cookies. I think the key is to freeze the cut-out shapes before baking them, that way they retain their shape. Which makes it perfect for decorating! I used some cute Halloween cookie cutters to make the cookie shapes with. 

Then, I placed them on a cookie sheet in the freezer before baking them. Be sure to check out the recipe and read through all the tips and tricks. But definitely don’t skip out on freezing the shapes before baking them.

Halloween Cookies

After you bake these easy Halloween cookies, I let them cool on a wire rack before decorating. You definitely want to make sure these cookies are cool and at room temperature before you try to ice them. If you try to ice them while they are still hot, all the icing will just melt away or run down the cookie and we don’t want that! 

Cooling Halloween sugar Cookies

​How To Decorate Halloween Cookies

After the cookies are all cooled down, now is the time to decorate them. We are going to make some icing using some powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and/or almond extract. I make a “border” icing, which is a thick icing that the cookies are outlined in. 

Then, I make a “flood” icing that I use to fill in the outlines with. This icing is thiner and can easily “flood” the cookie shape. The key is to get each icing to the right consistency to make decorating the cookies easier. I think this is a much easier way to ice cookies, rather than making a buttercream frosting. 

Halloween Cookies Outlined With Icing

Make The Border Icing 

To make the border icing, In a large bowl, mix together one cup of powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk. You can also use water too. Then, add in 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract. I like to use almond extract when doing the border icing.

I keep my border icing white, and I’ve noticed that if you add vanilla extract to the mix, it causes it to turn darker and not be a true white icing. Whisk the ingredients together well, making sure to scrape the powdered sugar off the sides of the bowl as you go. 

To make decorating the Halloween cookies even easier, I use plastic squeeze bottles. This is such an easy way to ice cookies with! You can also use a disposable piping bag with piping tips to ice the cookies with too. But, I have had these squeeze bottles for years now and I love the fact that I can just reuse them season after season to decorate cookies with!

Halloween Cookies With Border Icing

To pour the border icing into the bottles I use a funnel to make sure I can get it all in there. I then go over each cookie and ice an outline with the border icing. The border icing will act as a barrier when you pipe the flood icing onto the cookie as well.

But, before you do that, you want to make sure the border icing is completely dry. I usually wait about 1-2 hours before making the flood icing and piping it onto the cookies as well. 

Make The Flood Icing

To make the flood icing, in a separate bowl, mix together one cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract. The flood icing needs to be a little more “runnier” than the border icing so therefore you need to add a tablespoon or two more of milk to the mixture. 

Icing in Squeeze Bottles
Here are some similar squeeze bottles to the ones I used:

I like to make different icing colors with the flood icing using gel food coloring. I ordered an icing set off Amazon that had several different colors in it, however, it didn’t come in time for when I was making these cookies unfortunately. So I just used what I had on hand instead.

Flood Icing on Cookie

But, I did want to have a black icing for the bats and cat shaped cookies I had. However, when I mixed my colors I had on hand together, I got more of a deep purple color. Which ended up being fine, I figured that’s a good Halloween color too!

Filling in The Flood Icing

So now onto icing the cookies with the flood icing. Just pour a little of the icing mixture into the middle of the cookie. Be careful to not overfill it. Then, I used a toothpick to spread around the icing onto the cookies to make it nice and smooth.

Icing Halloween Cookies

I also used some candy eyes when icing the ghost cookies and the black cats. I thought it made them even more adorable! And again, I let the cookies dry at least 2-3 hours before trying to store them or move them. To store the cookies, I keep them in an airtight container for up to 5 days after baking them. 

Halloween Cookies Drying

Tips and Tricks

Now, these are so much fun to make, but also a lot of work when you are both making and decorating these Halloween cookies. One tip I have for you is to space it out to make it easier. I actually baked all the cookies one day.

Decorated Halloween Cookies

And then iced and decorated them the next day. That way, I didn’t spend all day in the kitchen. That easy sugar cookie recipe I use makes a big batch of cookies so that means a lot of icing time! So if you want to split it up, feel free to do so! 

Halloween Iced Cookies

Also, when icing the cookies, I always place them down on a piece of parchment paper or kraft paper to keep clean up easier! Sometimes, the flood icing does drip down off of the cookie, so you don’t want to have to clean up icing off your kitchen countertops if you don’t have to! 

​Enjoy Decorating Your Halloween Cookies! 

I hope you try out these delicious cookies for yourself and see just how perfect they are for the spooky season! You can make them in so many fun shapes and it is the perfect time of the year for them! Like I said, I make these at Christmastime too, just changing out the icing colors and the cookie cutters on the rolled-out dough!

Close Up Of Iced Halloween Cookie

These really are the cutest Halloween cookies and would be a great activity for kids to help you out with as well. What better way to spend a fall evening together with by decorating and icing Halloween sugar cookies?!

Equipment

  • Funnels
  • Squeeze bottles

Ingredients
  

For the Border Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk or water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract
  • food coloring optional

For the Flood Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk or water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract
  • food coloring optional

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, extract, and milk/water together until there are no lumps. Add in desired food coloring. Remember you want your border icing to have a thicker consistency than your flood icing so you may need to add more or less milk depending on the thickness of your icing.
  • Pour finished icing into squeeze bottle. I use a funnel to help pour it in. Outline cookies with border icing and let dry completely.
  • Fill in the border icing with the flood icing. Again, let dry completely.
  • Serve and enjoy!

I don’t do an awful lot of baking, but this 100% explains why mine go all misshaped in the oven. Haha! So thank you for that. Seems so simple, but so effective.

Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a little staycation last week and it was everything I needed- relaxing, fun, and filled with so much good food! 😋

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶

This is me every time we travel: no idea where we’re going, where we parked, or how we’re getting there 😂 I just grab my bag, follow my husband like a lost puppy, and hope for the best! Solo travel? Couldn’t be me, my anxiety would never allow it 😅 I’m proudly a passenger princess and he’s the human GPS. Balance, right? 😉✈️
