Recently I had the pleasure of making some really simple Halloween cookies for the Dessert Wiki: Spooky Milano Ghost Cookies, Eyeball Cookies and Witch Hat Cookies.

For anyone looking to impress Halloween party guests, especially children, these cookies are great go-to's. The Witch Hat Cookies in particular are easy and fun--very young children could even make them with adult supervision.

The Eyeball Cookies and Spooky Milano Ghost Cookies are also relatively simple, as long as you know how to melt white chocolate (harder than it seems! After some trial and error I figured out I should put a small amount of white chocolate morsels in the microwave for one minute at a time at 50% power). If you know how to melt white chocolate without scalding it like I did the first time around, then these are pretty easy.

If a parent takes care of the white chocolate melting, the rest can be up to the kids, and it can be pretty fun! I chose a very simple design with the Spooky Milano Ghost Cookies but if a child wanted to add more pizzazz, it would be a lot of fun and a great family activity.

The decorating for all of these cookies is so much fun for kids and adults, but it's important to let the white chocolate dry first so that it doesn't get all drippy. And let's not forget the most fun part--eating them!
