Bittersweet Chocolate Skeleton Cookies

Bittersweet Chocolate Skeleton Cookies are so easy and so fun to make. I usually make a double batch of these and get my kids involved to decorate them. More cartoonish than creepy, these are the ultimate delicious chocolate cookies to share at a Halloween party or school costume bash.

I use my gingerbread cutter to cut out skeleton cookies, and it works great. Don’t stress about making them look perfect. The more messed up the cookies look, the spookier, the better. The base of these cookies is a simple chocolate sugar cookie recipe that is easy to make and tastes delicious. For the icing, I went with a simple recipe made with only three pantry staples. The mixture yields a pipeable sweet topping that dries smooth and shiny. Have fun creating skeleton designs on your sweet treats!

To make these Bittersweet Chocolate Skeleton Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Bittersweet Chocolate Skeleton Cookies

1	Cream butter, sugar, oil, and vanilla	2
Cream together 1 cup sugar, ½ cup butter, ½ cup canola oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
2	Beat in egg	1
Add 1 egg and beat in.
3	Add dry ingredients	3
Add in 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole-wheat flour, ¾ cup unsweetened dark cocoa, and ½ teaspoon salt and mix well until combined.
4	Chill	30
Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and roll to a ¼-inch thickness. Chill for about 30 minutes or until firm.
5	Heat oven	1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
6	Cut out cookies	5
Peel back the plastic wrap from the dough and place the dough onto a working surface lightly powdered with cocoa. Cut out gingerbread man shapes. Place the shapes 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Reroll scraps as necessary.
7	Bake cookies	10
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
8	Make icing	2
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 tablespoon corn syrup until smooth.
9	Decorate the cookies	10
Transfer the icing to a piping bag or small zip-top plastic bag. Once the cookies are completely cool, decorate them with the icing, leaving some space between the lines.
