13 Fun & Easy Halloween Cookies

It is crazy to me that every year we start school and then the next we are discussing what the kids are going to be for Halloween. I mean the stores basically have back-to-school and Halloween overlapping these days! 

But still, it feels like it sneaks up all of a sudden with a school party or wanting to do a fun Halloween movie night and we want a treat to go with it! That is where cookies always come in! 

Cookies are just… easy. Easy to bake, easy to decorate, easy to disappear off the tray in about five minutes flat. And they don’t have to be fancy! Half the time my kids cover theirs in sprinkles so thick you can’t even tell it was supposed to be a pumpkin. But you know what? They love it. And honestly, that’s what matters.

So I rounded up 13 of the cutest, most doable Halloween cookie recipes for parties and kids, plus my own go-to easy sugar cookie recipe (literally my go-to sugar cookie recipe October through December!) for other moms searching for some easy and cute Halloween treats!

Make It a Halloween Cookie Board

Here’s where it gets fun. Once you’ve baked (or bought—zero judgment) a few of these cookies, lay them out on a big cutting board with some seasonal extras—think pretzels dipped in white chocolate, candy corn, and maybe a caramel dip in a small bowl. Suddenly, you’ve got a Halloween cookie board that looks party-ready but only took a few extra minutes to arrange.

If you need step-by-step ideas, I’ve got a whole post on how to make a Halloween cookie board that pairs perfectly with this round-up.
