Description
These Melted Witch Cookies are a whimsical and fun Halloween treat, inspired by melted snowman cookies. They feature a spooky “melted witch” design with chocolate hats and broomstick decorations, making them perfect for Halloween parties or festive gatherings.
Ingredients
- Your favorite chocolate cookie dough (or sugar cookie dough)
- Green royal icing (for the “melted witch”)
- Oreo cookies (for the hat)
- Hershey’s Kisses (for the hat tip)
- Pretzel sticks (for the broom handle)
- Chow mein noodles (for the broom bristles)
- Black gel icing (for detailing)
- Edible candy eyes (optional for added effect)
Instructions
- Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your chocolate or sugar cookie dough.
- Roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness and cut out circles using a round cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or according to your dough’s recipe.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Witch Hat:
- Twist apart an Oreo cookie, keeping one half intact.
- Place a Hershey’s Kiss on top of the intact Oreo half, securing it with melted chocolate or frosting to create the witch’s hat.
- Decorate the Cookies:
- Flood the top of each cooled cookie with green royal icing to represent the “melted witch.” Let it set slightly.
- Place the Oreo-Hershey’s Kiss witch hat onto one side of the cookie, pressing gently into the icing.
- Break a pretzel stick to create the broom handle and attach chow mein noodles with a bit of melted chocolate or icing to mimic broom bristles. Place this “broom” on the opposite side of the cookie.
- Use black gel icing to add details such as melted arms or shoes. Optionally, place edible candy eyes on the green icing for a fun touch.
- Let it Set:
- Allow the decorated cookies to dry completely. For quicker drying, place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Serve & Enjoy:
- Display the cookies on a festive tray for Halloween parties or package them individually as a treat for friends and family.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting: Melt the chocolate wafers or use a small amount of frosting to attach decorations securely.
- Decoration Tip: Ensure the royal icing is slightly tacky before adding decorations to help them stick better.
- Cookie Dough: Using pre-made cookie dough can simplify the process and save time.
