What are you doing if you aren’t baking Halloween cookies? Why not have Halloween cookies in interesting forms like pumpkins, cats, and bats if we have Christmas cookies? Consider that for a moment. If you’re still not convinced, try this recipe for charming Jack Skellington Halloween cookies. The cookies look just like our fave pumpkin king from The Nightmare Before Christmas and actually use the recipe for sugar cookies from Tony’s Town Square in the Magic Kingdom Park.
We know a lot of you are fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas, so this recipe is ideal for sharing this Halloween. And, technically, these might be Christmas cookies as well! Simply build some hats, place them on top of Jack’s head on the plate, and presto! He’s Sandy Claws! We enjoy a little variety.

- Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer; whisk until frothy. Add confectioners’ sugar a little at a time, until thick but still spreadable.
- Place 1/3 of icing in a separate bowl.
- Add black food coloring paste to reserved icing and stir until color is uniform.
A trick for this treat: use slice-and-bake cookie dough instead of starting from scratch. Happy Halloween!
