Trick-or-Treat Cookies
Playful trick-or-treat cookies are twice the fun. Outside, they look like simple Halloween cookies shaped like pumpkins, coffins, gravestones, and ghosts, but inside, they're stuffed with treats (mini chocolate candies) or tricks (small sugar ants).
Halloween Mini Cookies
These vanilla shortbread Halloween Mini Cookies ($25) take spooky to a new level thanks to cute pumpkin, witch hat, ghost, and cat shapes. They're finished off with royal icing for extra sweetness.
Gooey Monster Eye Cookies
Gooey Monster Eye Cookies are just the right touch of scary. Use food coloring to dye these butter cookies green and top them off with candy eyeballs. Creepy, but delicious!
Candy Corn and Ghost Nibbles
Hallowen Cookie Nibbles ($20) from Etsy's Crafted Cookies come with 30 mini ghost and 30 mini candy corn cookies, each of which are only one-inch in size for guilt-free Halloween snacking!
Dracula Dentures
These Dracula Dentures look super complicated, but all they're really doing is taking your fave chocolate chip cookie recipe to the next level. All you need to add is tinted vanilla frosting, miniature marshmallows, and slivered almonds for those scary fangs.
Witch Potion Cookies
Witch Potion Bottle Cookies ($48 for one dozen) are almost too stylish to eat, but don't worry, there's only yummy cookie (no poison) inside!
Spider Web Cookies
These adorable Spider Web Cookies ($36 for 20) prove spiders can be sweet, not scary!
Painted Pumpkin Cookies
These almost-too-pretty-to-eat Pumpkin Cookies use sugar cookies, royal icing, and a lot of creativity. Not to mention, they're a kid-friendly option for kiddos who get spooked easily.
Mini Halloween Cookies
Cats, bats, skulls, pumpkins, and witch hats are all a part of Old Time Favorites' Mini Halloween Cookies set ($25 for three dozen).
Spider Peanut Butter Blossoms
Black licorice legs and candy eyes turn a peanut butter cup into a cute spider, made even yummier sitting on top of a peanut butter cookie.
Dulce de Leche Bat Cookies
Think of Martha Stewart's Bat Cookie — crisp chocolate cookies sandwich with a soft caramel center — as the grown-up, scary version of an Oreo.
Assorted Halloween Cookies
These Assorted Halloween Cookies ($38) come in five dozen melt-in-your-mouth iced sugar cookie batches that look like spider webs, broom-flying witches, and pumpkins finished off with festive sprinkles.
Pumpkin Cookie Nibbles

Bat and Cobweb Cookies
Martha Stewart's Bat and Cobweb Cookies are made with gingerbread and lemony royal icing. Spooky and sweet!
Nutter Butter Ghosts
Nutter Butters are naturally ghost-shaped, so dip them in white chocolate, add some mini chocolate chips for eyes, and you're done. The only thing to be scared of: how addictive these cookies can be!
