I made these easy and adorable Halloween cookies for Oliver’s daycare and my students. They were super easy to do.
I used the No Fail Sugar Cookie recipe, cut them out into large rounds, and baked them.
Then I whipped up a batch of cookie glaze which is 1 pound of powdered sugar, 3/8 cup of whole milk, 3/8 cup of light corn syrup and a dash of almond flavoring (I didn’t have vanilla). I took out about 1/2 cup and mixed in black gel food coloring and then put the white and the black glazes into piping bags.
Then I iced the cookies with the white glaze and then drew a spiral with the black glaze. Finally, I drew a toothpick from the center to the outside of each cookie several times to drag the black and white glazes together. (The cookies in the photo go from left to right, obviously)
Voila! Easy Halloween cookies!

You’re Genious! LOVE IT!
Thanks for sharing the glaze recipe – I can never seem to get it right. Mine is either too runny or two thick.
Maybe you should consider a career in cookie designing????
Happy Halloween!

Despite having a donut (free at work every other friday; how can I say no?!), a cup of tomato cup-o-soup (also free and SALTY – YUM!) and a completely halloweeny bloody brain cookie (cube mate is nearly as talented as you in the recipe-following dept.) within the last half hour, your cookies – ME WANT. Really. How do you get them so perfectly round and iced and stuff?!

I’m going to try that glaze next time I make cookies. I can never seem to get the icing right – I wish I could get mine to look all Martha Stewart perfect.
