    It’s Friday the 13th and Halloween is also close by… I think it makes a lot of sense to make cookies for Cookie Friday that match the theme. Horribly funny Monster Cookies. Maybe not for a scary Halloween party, but surely a nice addition to any Halloween buffet or sweet table ;)

    When it comes to Halloween you either love it or hate it I guess. I personally like all the decoration stuff and the funny things you can cook and bake. Halloween costume parties? Not so much ;) Just not the person to get dressed up like a chainsaw massacre character. I know, most people think that is the fun part at Halloween, but I might be just too old for it :P

    So you will probably never ever find me on a Halloween costume party, but pumpkins for decoration and other funny stuff?! Right up my alley ;)

    These little Monster Cookies are actually crinkle cookies… you know?! Those cookies that are rolled in confectioners’ sugar and when baked, they are full of small crinkles. These ones here got some food color and some candy eyes, in addition, to make them look scary funny. Kids will love them, pretty sure about that ;)

    If you are looking for some more blood to spill, you might want to take a look at these Bloody Halloween Cookies – these are for the adults :P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Mix the butter with sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Divide the dough into several portions and color each portion with the desired food color. Place the dough in the fridge for about 45 minutes.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Remove the dough from the fridge and form small balls (about the size of small walnuts), roll these balls in confectioners’ sugar until covered completely and then place them on the baking sheets. Make sure you have enough space in between. Bake one baking sheet at a time for about 12-14 minutes – the cookies should be firm, but not browned. Remove from the oven and let cool down for a moment on the baking sheet, then press several candy eyes into each still soft cookie and let cool down completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the second batch.

    1. Die Butter mit dem Zucker und Vanille Extrakt in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln zugeben und gut unterrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und kurz zusammenrühren. Den Teig in mehrere Portionen aufteilen und dann jeweils mit ein paar Tropfen der Lebensmittelfarbe einfärben. Die Teigportionen für etwa 45 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Teige aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen und etwa walnussgroße Kugeln formen. Die Kugeln im Puderzucker wälzen und dann mit genügend Abstand auf die Bleche setzen. Die Bleche nacheinander für 12-16 Minuten backen – die Cookies sollten gebacken, aber nicht gebräunt sein. Die Cookies aus dem Ofen nehmen, einen Moment auf dem Blech abkühlen lassen und dann die Zuckeraugen an mehreren Stellen in den noch weichen Teig drücken. Auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen. Mit dem zweiten Blech ebenso verfahren.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
