Halloween cookie basket 1

I am already busy with the preparations for this years Halloween holiday and making Halloween cookie baskets is one of my (many) projects. I will be using them as gifts for friends and family this year and I still need to make seven more baskets.

Just to see how they look with cookies, have I filled it with some pumpkin cookies. But I will also make other types of Halloween themed cookies like: Spiders, creepy eyes, ghosts, coffins and tombstones. Im sure that the receivers will be thrilled, when they get them for Halloween.

What type of Halloween cookies do you bake? Do you have a favorite one or do you just bake a mixed variety of “frightening” cookies? Please tell me:-)

Happy Caking!

    Very pretty and crafty. I would be interested to know how you adhered the fondant. Are you going to enclose them in a bag? If not, how will you keep them from drying out?

    Hi Louise ~ I was wondering how you made the baskets or if you bought them somewhere? I’d like to make them for a Halloween Party we’re having with a group of kids. Thanks!

    Hi Louise, I have been a serial lurker for over a year now and just wanted to say how fabulous your creative ideas are. I love your blog and was hoping you’d show us a picture of some pumpkin shaped cookies. I have a pumpkin cutter and now have the inspiration I need to give it a try. Many thanks for being such a generous person with your skills :)

    I love decorating Halloween cookies. I do pumpkins, ghosts, bats, tombstones etc. But my favorites are bloody monster hands. So fun.
