Description
Ghost cookies are the ultimate spooky Halloween treat—easy to make, budget-friendly, and hauntingly adorable. With marshmallows, smooth icing, and a dash of creativity, these cookies are perfect for Halloween parties, family baking nights, or kid-friendly kitchen fun.
Ingredients
- Chocolate chunk cookies, shortbread, or any sturdy base cookie
- Large marshmallows
- Icing sugar (for glaze)
- Black icing or edible writing gel (for faces)
- Optional decorations: candy eyes, sprinkles, edible glitter
Instructions
- Sift icing sugar into a bowl and gradually add water until smooth and pourable.
- Arrange cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dip the bottom of each marshmallow into icing and stick onto the center of each cookie.
- Pour icing over the marshmallow, letting it cascade to form the ghost’s body.
- Once icing sets slightly, use black icing or gel to draw ghost faces.
- Optional: decorate with candy eyes, sprinkles, or edible glitter for extra flair.
Notes
Keep icing slightly thick to avoid runny ghosts. Let marshmallows set firmly before pouring glaze. Store in an airtight container to keep icing from getting sticky. Try variations with colored icing, shredded coconut, or flavored extracts for seasonal twists.
