Things You'll Need:
- Sugar cookies
- Halloween cookie cutters
- Halloween-color frostings
- Halloween sprinkles
- Candy corn
- Gel icing
- Toothpicks
-
Step 1
Cut out your sugar cookies using cutters in Halloween-related shapes: pumpkins, ghosts, cats, spiders and bats. See Resources for examples of Halloween shapes.
-
Step 2
Frost your cookies with Halloween-color frostings. Orange-and-black is the traditional Halloween color scheme, but also consider yellow brown, red and green.
-
Step 3
Sprinkle Halloween-color or Halloween-shape sprinkles atop your frosted sugar cookies. You can purchase standard sprinkles in orange, black and white, or Halloween-themed sprinkles in the shapes of pumpkins, cats, spiders, bats and ghosts.
-
Step 4
Press candy corn into the frosting atop your cookies. For more variety, buy a candy corn variety pack that includes pumpkin-shaped pieces.
-
Step 5
Create spider-web sugar cookies with thin lines of gel icing atop frosted cookies. Simply draw a circle of gel icing around the outline of the cookie, then draw a circle inside that circle and so on until you have created circles to the center of your cookie. Use a toothpick to draw lines from the center of the cookie to the edge, which will pull the gel icing to create the effect of a spider web.
-
Step 6
Draw faces on pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies by first frosting the cookie with orange frosting, then using gel icing to draw eyes, a nose and a mouth. Do the same to draw features onto sugar cookies in cat, ghost, bat and other shapes.
