I can’t wait for Halloween to get here! Not only do I love helping the kids get their Halloween costumes together, I love baking fun Halloween goodies, like this super awesome, totally spooky Zombie Halloween cookies recipe.
Spooky Zombie Halloween Cookie
I always have so much fun letting the kids bake things with me, it honestly helps me get in touch with my creative side. They do and say little things that give me the creativity I need to make something fun for the neighborhood kids or to send to school for their fall party. Plus, spending time with my kids baking is awesome bonding time for us. They love to decorate things, and of course, make a huge mess, which mom always gets stuck cleaning up, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Remember to get creative and have fun! You’re Zombie Halloween Cookies should have your own personal touch and if you have kids, let them join in on the fun. It’s always exciting to see what the kids cookies look like. Mattie made a clown Zobmie a while back that I just loved, lol. We were not trying to make clown cookies, but it turned out awesome, so fun and it tasted fabulous lol.
