Spooky Ghost Brown Butter Pumpkin Cookies
These Spooky Ghost Brown Butter Pumpkin Cookies are chewy, full of warm flavors and spices, and easy to decorate for Halloween!
Ingredients
- 1 batch Brown Butter and Maple Chewy Pumpkin Cookies by Butternut Bakery
- For Decorating:
- White chocolate
- Black candy melts
- Piping bag
- Helpful Tools/Ingredients to have:
- Medium cookie scoop
- Light colored baking pans
Instructions
- Bake the pumpkin cookies and allow them to fully cool.
- Melt your white chocolate of choice (I use Ghirardelli melting wafers).
- Spoon a small dollop of white chocolate onto a fully cooled cookie.
- Using the back of a small spoon, apply light pressure and slowly drag the spoon down to create the ghost shape. Practicing on parchment paper before can help get the technique down before working with the actual cookies.
- Allow the white chocolate to harden.
- Next, melt the black candy melts in a microwave safe container. Pour into a piping bag (my preference because it is more sturdy) or ziplock bag and cut a small tip off of the corner of the bag.
- Pipe small dots with the candy melts to make the eyes and mouth.
- Allow the candy melts to fully dry, and enjoy!
Notes
Apply very light pressure when making the white chocolate ghosts. A light touch helps to create a uniform layer of chocolate without starting to pick up cookie crumbs from pressing too firmly.
