Halloween or All saints Eve is a yearly celebration in many countries observed on 31st October eve, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. You can read more about the customs and why it is celebrated in Wikipedia. I just thought of making some sugar cookies for some fun with my little boy. It was fun making these cookies with my little boy who helped me in shaping the dough, licking the jam, giggling over almond nails :)..
You can easily make 15-20 cookies depending on the size of the cookies.
I hope you also enjoy making these cookies with your children and have a fun-filled Halloween day!!

Notes
You can add extra milk if the cookie dough is too tight and you are not able to shape it.[br]You can use the same cookie dough to make plain sugar cookies and using cookie cutter, shape them and decorate as per your preference.

Finger nail halloween witch cookies are so yum!
These are so fun. They would be great at a party. So cute. Thanks for sharing, Priya.
Hi Priya..Thanks for sharing this easy recipe.. If i dont have cookie sheets, can i directly place these on a greased baking tray?
yes you can Krithika but do not over grease the tray and keep a watch on the cookies. greasing sometimes leads to change of colour at the bottom of the cookies..
Such a scary cookies,so good
looks so good..perfectly made…i loved the color
What a fantastic idea priya..I am going to try this figers this year.
thank you dear 🙂
Hi Priya, loved the idea of these cookies. I tried today but its becoming quite flat ibstead of round like yours. I tried refrigerating the dough overnight, its better but still getting flat. Can u suggest what can be done.
I would suggest you to add a little bit more flour if the dough is too soft to shape it.
