Easy Ghost Cookies
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. My family loves to put up our creepy crawly decorations and have our annual Halloween costume party. These ghost cookies are always a huge hit and they are sure to become a staple in your family at Halloween.
My kids love to help in the kitchen but most recipes are a little too advanced for them. This is one that they can assemble and do themselves and they love adding the edible eyes. Warning, your ghost cookies may end up covered in edible eyes if your kids assemble them.
How To Make Dipped Ghost Cookies
To make this recipe, you’ll need:
- Golden oreos - golden oreos color makes them easy to coat in the white candy coating for the ghost look. If you use traditional oreos you will need to coat the ghosts more times with the candy melts.
- White chocolate peanut butter cups - peanut butter cups are delicious and they are perfect for giving these ghosts their form. You can use traditional peanut butter cups but it's harder to get them totally white when covered with the candy coating.
- White chocolate candy coating - white chocolate candy coating is basically white chocolate mixed with some oils and milk solids. Its color and thickness are perfect for creating that ghost look for these cookies. See FAQs for alternatives.
- Edible eyeballs - these are available in most stores seasonally. See tip #1 below for how to make them.
Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, we will use the following method:
- Prep - Set a piece of parchment paper over a baking tray. Melt the chocolate candy coating in a bowl in the microwave.
- Dip - Place an oreo on a spoon then put a white chocolate peanut butter cup on the cookie upside down. Pour white chocolate over the cookie and cup and place 2 edible eyes on the top.
- Set - Set the ghosts on the parchment paper and set them in the freezer to set for at least 10 minutes.
- Enjoy- Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks to Perfect Dipped Ghost Cookies:
Here are some tips and tricks to help you when making these spooky treats.
Make your own edible eyeballs. To make edible eyeballs you will need some white chocolate chips and some dark chocolate chips. Melt each in the microwave then put a larger dot of melted dark chocolate on a piece of parchment paper and refrigerate to set for about 5 minutes. Then use a toothpick to add a smaller amount of melted white chocolate to the center of the dark chocolate dots. Refrigerate again to set then they are ready for your ghost cookies.
Keep frozen till you need them. These cute little ghosts will stay good in the freezer so feel free to make them ahead of time and freeze them until you need them. It's a great way to not eat them all at once.
FAQ’s:
If you can't find candy coating you can use any white chocolate that has been warmed up. It may take a few coats to get a fully white ghost cookie.
Place the cookies in an airtight container or on a platter wrapped with plastic wrap in a single layer, do not stack them or the chocolate will stick to the other cookies. These will stay fresh for up to 3 days if wrapped tightly.
