Description

Spooky “Ghost Cookies” bring Halloween magic to dessert tables with adorable marshmallow-based treats. Creamy white ghosts dance on cookie surfaces, delighting both kids and adults with playful Halloween spirit.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 pack (200 grams) chocolate chunk cookies
  • 9 regular-sized marshmallows

Sweet Coating:

  • 175 grams (6.2 ounces) icing sugar

Decorative Ingredient:

  • 1 black writing icing

Instructions

  1. Create a smooth, pourable white icing by blending powdered sugar with water until achieving a thick yet fluid consistency.
  2. Position cookies on a clean, flat surface covered with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Gently submerge the base of each marshmallow into the prepared icing, then carefully center it onto a cookie, ensuring secure placement.
  4. Using a spoon, delicately cascade the white icing over each marshmallow, allowing it to elegantly flow down the sides and create a spectral appearance.
  5. Let the icing completely solidify at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes until it becomes firm and glossy.
  6. Utilize black decorative icing to craft expressive ghost faces, adding two circular eyes and a whimsical mouth to transform each cookie into a playful Halloween treat.
  7. Allow the final design to set for an additional 10 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Choose powdered sugar carefully to avoid lumps and ensure smooth, glossy icing that drips perfectly over marshmallows.
  • Work on a clean, flat surface with parchment paper to catch excess icing and make cleanup easier.
  • Adjust icing consistency by adding water droplets gradually – too thin will run off, too thick won’t create the ghostly dripping effect.
  • Use room temperature marshmallows for better adherence and smoother surface when applying white icing.
