A fun, scary Halloween celebration borrowed from American culture. Now we’re also dressing up in creepy costumes, doing zombie make-up and baking sweets in the form of body parts and ghosts.
Joy-pup has prepared a selection of the most interesting dark baking recipes for you. If some sound familiar to you, don’t be surprised: the effects depend on the shape and should be really scary. So let’s bake cookies for Halloween: recipes with photos, recommendations and life hacks.
Vampire jaw (recipe for the lazy)
Spooky cookies can be made from purchased round cookies (shortbread, oatmeal): the wider the diameter, the cooler.
We need
- round biscuits: 24 pieces
- red glaze
- White Marshmallows
- chopped almonds: 48 slices
Tip: Ready-made vanilla frosting is sold in candy stores, including colored ones, but in general it’s not difficult to make at home by adding red food coloring.
How to make icing
- powdered sugar: 150 g
- milk: 3-4 tablespoon
- vanilla sugar: 1 teaspoon / or vanilla powder: 1 Prize
- Molasses: 60 g
- red food coloring
Mix powdered sugar with milk, vanilla and color in a small bowl and rub well into a smooth paste. Pour in the corn syrup and beat until the frosting glitters. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more molasses.
Basic process (step by step)
1. Carefully cut the cookies in half.
2. Smear all halves with glaze.
3.Cut the marshmallows and pin them in a row on the bottom rug so that they look like “teeth” (as in the photo below).
4.Cover with the other half of the biscuit and carefully place the chopped almond pieces – these are vampire teeth – between your cheeks.

An excellent vacation candy horror story to bake with your kids. It is based on classic shortcrust pastry, the rest is a matter of technology.

1.For dark dough, mix 150 g of sifted flour, 2 tbsp. Tablespoons of sugar and all of the cocoa powder.
2.Add 100 g of softened butter and mix with a mixer on high speed. The result is a crumbly “crumb”.
3.Separate the yolks from the whites (it will come in handy a little later), pour into the prepared mixture, mix well.
4.Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. For a light batter, mix 100 g of flour, 1 tbsp. Grind a spoonful of sugar, 50 g of softened butter and also into crumbly crumbs.
6.Fügen Sie das Eiweiß hinzu, rollen Sie den Teig zu einer Kugel und kühlen Sie ihn 1 Stunde lang.
7.Roll out the light dough thinly and cut into thin strips: These are our “bandages”.
8.Pinch off the dark dough in pieces and form flat ovals from them – actually mummies.
9. We make eyes out of two small balls of light dough, and pupils out of dark dough.
10.We wrap our mummies crosswise, slight negligence does no harm.
11. Place on a baking sheet, place in the oven preheated to 180 °, bake for 20-25 minutes.
