Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies for Halloween

Ghost cookies with Nutter Butters are incredibly easy to make! Just because they are simple doesn’t mean that they won’t wow your guests! These are no-bake cookies, which saves you time and frustration. Even if you are not a baker, you can easily make these Halloween ghost cookies!

This recipe uses the same ingredients as our Mummy Cookies recipe. You can easily make both types of cookies at the same time.

How to Make Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies

A printable recipe card is at the end of the post.

Makes 16 cookies.

Ingredients

Directions

Step 1

Melt the white chocolate candy coating according to the package directions.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the melted candy coating into a small zip-top bag and set aside. You may want to place the bag in warm water to keep the candy from getting hard and setting.

Step 2

Dip one side of each Nutter Butter cookie in the melted white candy coating, but only dip about 2/3 of the way, leaving 1/3 without a candy coating at the bottom.

Place the dipped cookies on a wire rack to allow any excess candy to drip away.

Step 3

Use scissors to trim a very tiny bit from one corner of the plastic bag that contains the melted candy coating. This will make a simple piping bag.

Before the candy coating sets, make your ghosts by piping a little of the candy coating in a squiggly line along the bottom edge of the dipped portion of the cookie to make the ghosts appear to be floating on the cookie.

Step 4

Next, use mini chocolate chips to create eyes and a mouth on each cookie.

Allow the candy coating to set at room temperature and to harden before serving.
