With Halloween knocking on our door, it’s the perfect time to share my delicious nut-free Halloween cookie recipe. These nut-free cookies are incredibly easy to make, with a divine texture and flavor. Since I’m a cat lover—and cats and Halloween go hand in hand—I cut out my nut-free cookie dough into cat shapes, and decorate them to look like cats ready for a Halloween party.
Once you make my nut-free cookie dough, it is time to be creative. Roll the nut-free cookie dough, choose the cookie cutters, and start making the cookies. You can use cookie cutters in the shape of cats, bats, pumpkins, or another Halloween-inspired shape for the best Halloween feeling. Once baked and cooled, wake up your inner artist and start decorating!
Another fun Halloween idea is to pre-bake a big batch of these nut-free cookies and host a Halloween-themed cookie decorating party. Play some spooky music while decorating. I hope you enjoy this Halloween recipe! For more delicious Halloween-inspired recipes, check out my other Halloween recipes here.
