Halloween Countdown: Cookie Roundup

Cookies ain’t just for eating anymore! These little bits of sugar and starch are the modern day mini canvas. I’ve enjoyed the boom in pastry arts over the past few years (though it would be tough to eat any of this artwork).

Here are a few favorites that turned up on Etsy for the Halloween season.

New Orleans inspired mini-voodoo set by CookieMamas:

Adorable animal skeletons by AuCourantCookieCo:

More cute skeletons by MissBettyCakes:

Amazing gingerbread corpses by LegraLand (okay, so these are technically ornaments…but they are too unique not to include):

Sometimes a simple idea is just nicely executed…like these spider web cookies by SweetAmbs:

Skull cameo cookies by cerassweetshop:

These may be the finest sugar skull day of the dead cookies I’ve ever seen, by baked:

This Etsy search was very enjoyable, but there were also some pretty sad items up for sale.

(I’m keeping this seller anonymous because I feel too bad insulting someone’s genuine attempt at heartfelt baking…we’ve all had some craft fails…it’s okay).

Has anyone come across incredible baked goods this season?

  1. I couldn’t eat those skulls, they’re way too pretty! I can’t remember if cookies get hard or soft with age (they don’t last long enough around me) but we need some options here!

    • I think cookies harden, but they also get discolored. I’d almost like to commission one of those skulls as an ornament or wall-hanging instead of something edible!
