Halloween EEK & BOO Cookies

When everything settled down, what was left of Halloween for me consisted of carousing the sad 75% off leftovers at various stores after the fact. To cheer myself up, I stocked up on Halloween-themed decorations, party supplies, and baking supplies. I packed everything up and stored it away. However, I was optimistic that all the fun would be restored next year.

Next year is here. In the meantime, I had completely forgotten about these EEK and BOO cutters, which eventually became these Halloween EEK & BOO Cookies. Admittedly, I forgot about most of my purchases from last year’s Halloween spending spree until I unpacked everything recently. It was like Christmas morning. I discovered so many cute cutters, decorations, cupcake wrappers, and Halloween-themed sprinkles. This is a good thing, as I have a lot of baking commitments coming up.

The cutters are from Wilton.  They are part of a set of 10 other Halloween cookie cutters. These Halloween EEK & BOO Cookies are a fun, easy idea. Also, they are a nice change from all the cute pumpkin, ghost, and witch cookies. However, these are a great idea to complement your cute pumpkin, ghost, and witch cookies. Plus, there’s no royal icing. This significantly lessens cookie preparation and design time.

Use your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe. To save time, use a store-bought version. You can also make the cookie dough a few days before to split up the prep time for these Halloween EEK & BOO Cookies. Be aware. Once you glitter them, they have a 30 minute dry time.
