Better for mom or dad to handle the meat, but it’s okay if the kids do it too — remember to wash everyone’s hands with soap & water before and after cooking. To be extra safe, let the kids wear plastic gloves — they’ll come in handy for the next part too!

Step 4. Roll the patties into balls

Easy Halloween cookie

These terrifying bat and spider biscuits will get the youngsters thrilled for Halloween. They’ll be a big success because they come with chocolate chip “squashed flies.”

Here’s a recipe from BBC Good Food 

Step-by-step guide in making the Halloween cookies:

Step 1: Prepare the following ingredients

  • 150g butter, softened
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 100g light brown soft sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 250g plain flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 100g milk or dark chocolate chips

For decoration

  • 60g dark chocolate, melted
  • 60g royal icing sugar, mixed with 2 tsp water
  • 20 Maltesers
  • 5 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 10 caramel-filled chocolates

Step 2. Pre-heat the oven and make the dough

Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper and the oven should be preheated to 180°C/160°F/gas 4. With an electric whisk, combine the butter and sugars and beat until frothy and light. Stir in the egg and vanilla after adding them. Once you have a stiff dough, stir in the flour and baking powder with a wooden spoon before incorporating the chocolate chips.

Step 3. Bake the cookies

Cut the dough in20 pieces and roll it into 20 balls. Place them evenly spaced apart on the baking sheets that have been preheated (you might need to bake them in batches). Using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass, gently press the tops of the biscuits down. The cookies should be baked for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden, and then they should cool for 10 minutes on the baking pans. Place on wire racks and allow to totally cool.

Step 4. Decorate!

Organize 10 of the cooled cookies in front of you to create the spider cookies. Put the royal icing in one piping bag and the melted chocolate in another. Snip the ends off using scissors. Two Maltesers were given a royal icing dot on the back, and these were then arranged on one of the cookies to form the spider’s head and body. Continue by using the remaining nine cookies and Maltesers.

The chocolate can be used to pipe eight spider legs around the spiders’ bodies. To make the eyes, pipe two tiny royal icing dots onto the heads. To make the pupils, put tiny chocolate dots over the eyes. Use the royal icing to adorn the bodies if you’d like.

Moreover, place the remaining 10 cookies in front of you to begin making the bat cookies. The cream filling should be carefully scraped from the chocolate cookie pieces after separating the cream-filled chocolate sandwich biscuits. Using a little serrated knife, create semicircles out of the chocolate biscuit pieces. Use a little amount of royal icing to adhere a caramel-filled chocolate to the center of each cooled cookie, then use additional to adhere a chocolate cookie semicircle on either side of the chocolates to create bat wings. Using the royal icing and melted chocolate, pipe eyes onto the chocolates.

To better follow this recipe, you may watch how it is done in the BBC Good Food.
