Halloween Cookies & Caramel Apples

October 28, 2015 by Cassie 2 Comments

I’m in full Fall baking mode over here, I can’t stay out of the kitchen! The Carnivore loves it. He’s now submitting requests for what I should bake next. I’ve mentioned before I LOVE holidays, any holiday. I love putting together treats, making labels (I know what you’re thinking, I’m cool. I know.), and surprising friends and family with sweet things.

Since Halloween is THIS weekend, I wanted to do a quick round-up of the two things I make every year, without fail – sugar cookies and caramel apples.

Halloween Sugar CookiesI always use my favorite sugar cookie recipe, a recipe I developed to mimic my Aunt Debbie’s famous cookies. Find it here.

Instead of the butter glaze I normally use, I made a royal icing to use on these babes.

Alton Brown’s Glossy Royal Icing

  • 3 oz pasteurized egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

In large bowl of stand mixer combine the egg whites and vanilla and beat until frothy. Add confectioners’ sugar gradually and mix on low speed until sugar is incorporated and mixture is shiny. Turn speed up to high and beat until mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add food coloring, if desired. For immediate use, transfer icing to pastry bag or heavy duty storage bag and pipe as desired. If using storage bag, clip corner. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Bat and Ghost CookiesThe Carnivore and I ate my mess-ups. All was good until he started intentionally sabotaging my decorating attempts, he successfully ruined about 10 of them. (I secretly didn’t mind.)

I LOVE how they turned out. I think the bat is my favorite – I’m a sucker for sprinkles.

And the best combination since bananas and peanut butter – caramel and apple.

I’ve been absent over the last few weeks, but I’ll do an update on life REALLY soon.

Have a Happy Halloween!

      I made them! I just downloaded an Avery label template, designed them, and printed them! Super easy!
