Directions

The first thing in this recipe is cookie dough preparation.
In a large bowl, add the sifted flour and the sugar and mix. Add the salt and baking powder. Add the cold butter from the refrigerator in pieces and mix it with the flour and sugar.
Add the eggs and honey and start to make the cookies dough using your hands, mixing not so much because the butter will melt and the dough will be sticky. If this will happen, add a little flour. Cover the dough with a plastic colophon and sit it in the refrigerator for one hour.
Passing the time, we sprinkle our table with flour and roll it in a layer thick about 7 mm, and cut it with Halloween cookies cutters. Transfer it to a baking tin with baking paper and bake the cookies in the preheated oven to 180 degrees for about 12-13 minutes until golden. We put the baking cookies out and let them cool completely.
We start to prepare our decorating icing. In a bowl, we will mix the powder sugar with water until to make a creamy icing and separate it into some small bowls and coloring each of them with our Halloween food colors. If you need more icing, then you can prepare at the moment. We decorate our cookies using our imagination. We cut some of the cookies in the spooky scary pumpkin shape and adding the red raspberry and blackberry jam makes the cookies much funnier. Your kids will enjoy and have fun cooking with you and decorating the Halloween treats. You can refer to the images below for more decorating ideas, but we encourage you to use your imagination and to let your kids be creative and have fun decorating.
