Trick or treat, we’ve got something good to eat! Made using our delicious roll-out cookie dough recipe and our premade Cookie Icing, these Halloween Sugar Cookies are a great project for beginning bakers and decorators. Embellished using simple decorating techniques and an assortment of Halloween sprinkles, these fun Halloween cookies will surely get everyone in the spirit of the season!
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a stand mixer or hand mixer until it’s light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and extracts.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, 1 cup at at ime. This will prevent flour from poofing up all over your kitchen!
Once everything has come together, divide the dough into 2 balls and set one aside (no need to refrigerate it, we’ll use both portions for this recipe).
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to rollout one portion of the dough to 1/8 in. thickness.
Using the 7-Piece Halloween Cookie Cutter Set, cut out your cookies. We used the spider, spider web and pumpkin shapes, but feel free to use whatever shapes you’d like!To prevent your dough from sticking to your cookie cutters, dip them in flour first. This will also help the cookies keep their shape in the oven.
Next, repeat step 4 and 5 with the portion of dough that you set aside.
Bake your cookies on an ungreased baking sheet for 8 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned.Make sure they’re completely cool before decorating.
