Halloween Treat Ideas: 5 Easy Halloween Cookies You’ll Want to Make

Each year I try to come up with the perfect Halloween cookie for Practically Homemade.  It is always so much fun!  You can basically take any cookie recipe and “dress it up” for Halloween.  There are also the cookies that use Halloween candy…they are always a recipe that gets my attention.  The truth is that Halloween cookies don’t have to be spooky to be awesome.  They really only need to taste amazing!  Today I have gathered together 5 Easy Halloween Cookies You’ll Want to Make.

I think I have said this before but Halloween just isn’t as much fun as it used to be!  With my kids being grown and living away from the house there just isn’t a whole lot to celebrate.

Without costumes or trick or treating…I am left with food.  So I like to go all out and have fun with it, especially at school.

This year we will be making the Dirt Cup Cookies or the Candy Cane Sugar Cookie Bites in class and I know the kids will love it!
