Halloween Cookies

I’ve got one more Halloween recipe here for you today! Spiral cookies are always a lot of fun and they are super easy to adapt to various holidays and celebrations. All you have to do is change the color of sugar you use! I’ve made rainbow pinwheel cookies and red, white and blue sparkler cookies for the 4th of July and both were huge hits.

I went with orange, purple and black for Halloween and I have to say that I just adore how they turned out! If you can’t find the color of sugar you need, check out my DIY Colored Sugar tutorial for some help.

Now there is really no rhyme or reason to my sugar placement but you an see I did kind of a patchwork quilt look here. As long as you have large sections of color before rolling up the dough, the cookies will look fantastic.

What Ingredients Do I Need

These cookies don’t use a lot of ingredients (6 ingredients total – including the colored sugar!) so it’s important to use the highest quality ingredients you can afford. I used Challenge butter for these cookies. I love the quality and taste – so creamy and delicious!

  • butter softened
  • sugar
  • almond extract or vanilla
  • egg
  • flour
  • colored sugar (I used orange, black and purple)

After sprinkling the sugar in patches, roll up the dough like you would a cinnamon roll.

The dough gets thrown in the fridge for an hour or two…or three days if you run out of time like I did 😉  The cookies get sliced and bake up to this festive awesomeness:

This recipe makes a lot of cookies (three dozen) which makes it perfect for classroom treats or parties.

Almond or Vanilla Extract

You’ll notice that the recipe calls for almond extract. It’s almost magical what it does for these cookies. Vanilla extract will work just as well but if you have almond extract on hand – give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

    You are very inventive! I’m already an adult, but I myself am delighted to see these treats for Halloween. I would have thought for a long time to make such a thing with sprinkles! Be sure to take note of this recipe and cook it. Of course, cooking Halloween treats is a matter of creative people, here I can not do without the help of such original culinary blogs as yours. Thank you for the ideas, keep it up!

    Just made these- delicious ?, and so cute! One suggestion, how about a quick role in more sugar or Halloween colored cookie decoration to make them even more festive. Thanks for the recipe.

    Trish, I love how colorful these are and crazy simple. Perfect for me and my Munchkin to work on for Halloween! Can’t wait to try them and honestly almond extract in sugar cookies is better than icing on the cookie. Yum!

    I had no idea that sparkling sugar would do that in a cookie. How fun!

      I know right?!? If you smush the cookies a little too the sugar spreads out more and that’s a fun look as well. Thanks Julianne!
