Spooky Ghost Cookies That’ll Haunt Your Taste Buds
Okay, quick question: Who else has a million Halloween treats pinned on their Pinterest but ends up just eating the candy? 🙋♀️ Same! But these ghost cookies? They’re seriously easy, cute, and way more fun than the usual trick-or-treat haul. Plus, I mean, it’s just cookies dressed up as ghosts! 👻🍪
Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients
Alright, let’s go shopping! Here’s what you need, and trust me, you’ll feel like a Halloween wizard with these goodies:
– 175g icing sugar (get the good stuff, it’s the magic!)
– 1 x 200g pack chocolate chunk cookies (the more chocolate, the better, right?)
– 9 regular-sized marshmallows (I know we all want more, but I promise 9 is enough)
– Black writing icing (because every ghost cookie needs a face!)
Grab these and you’re halfway to spooky success!
So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly
Okay, story time! 🎃 So, last Halloween, I was all set to make these for a party. I had my ghost cookie vision and everything. But, like, I got totally sidetracked by a Netflix binge (who knew I could finish a whole season of something in one sitting?) and before I knew it, it was party time! I scrambled to whip these up in 25 minutes flat. And let me tell you, everyone went wild! The kids loved ’em, and the adults? Total nostalgia trip. Plus, they’re super forgiving—so if you mess up, just call it “artistic.” 😉

The One Trick That Changes Everything
Here’s the deal—make sure your icing sugar is sifted. This little step? GAME CHANGER. Sifting helps it mix it smoothly and makes your ghosts look all cute and fluffy instead of lumpy. Trust me! You’ll thank me later when your ghosts look like they just floated out of a Halloween movie.
Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
1. Marshmallow placement: Don’t just plop ‘em on top of the cookies. Try to make them slightly off-center for more ghostly vibes!
2. Icing too runny?: If your black icing is more of a puddle than a pen, add a pinch of powdered sugar to thicken it up.
3. Check the cookies: Are they super fresh? If they’re a bit stale, you can pop ‘em in the microwave for like 5-10 seconds. Boom, soft cookies in a snap!
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
Okay, here’s the secret—these cookies are BEST the day you make them (like, they’re gone in a flash!). But if you wanna save some for later (like 2 hours after making them), pop ‘em in an airtight container. They’ll chill for a couple of days. But warning: they’ll vanish faster than you can say “Boo!” 👻
