Candy Corn Spritz Cookies

Jump to Recipe

My family always loves Halloween. I have such great memories of Halloween growing up, it was always a fun time spent with family and friends, but it lacked the normal business and stress that other holidays or events always seemed to include. 

It does seem easy to get carried away with all the great Halloween ideas on Pinterest – perfect costumes, elaborate decorations both inside our homes and out, big parties, treats that take hours (or days) to create… but I’m making a conscious effort to scale down some of that craziness with our holidays this year. 

While it might not look as “festive”, there is something to be said for enjoying our time together and keeping things on the simple side. And speaking of simple, I’ve whipped up some super simple, and delicious, and easy Halloween cookies to share with you.

Easy Halloween Cookies

Hey there, teddy bear. I love spritz cookies, you can seriously make a gigantic batch in no time, they taste delicious and there is no need to frost them.

Chocolate Spritz Cookies For Halloween

These little guys get a piece of Brach’s Candy Corn added to them mid-way through baking, but that’s the extent of decorating. So simple, quick to make, and everyone loves them. 

To make these cute little guys, I used my cookie press fitted with a teddy bear attachment. You could really use any attachment, or even skip the press and just drop the dough onto your cookie sheet (approximately 1 tbsp per cookie).

I tried baking these cookies with the candy corn pieces put on prior to baking. The candy corn started melting right towards the end. I also tried putting the candy corn on right after I took them out of the oven, but not all of the candy corn pieces really stayed put. 

The sweet spot is pulling the cookies out of the oven halfway through, placing your candy corn onto your cookies, and putting them back into the oven to finish baking. It melts the candy corn just enough to have it stay put on the cookies.

I love that there is no need to do anything else to these cookies, no frosting, no piping, nothing. They are good to go! These make a super cute little treat for your friends or neighbors. Package them up with some fun packaging and they are a sweet little gift.
