Spoooooooky Halloween Cookies
These pumpkin cookies are topped with a browned butter icing and chopped walnuts. Halloween cookies are great for a party or any other Autumn get-together.
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped pecans or other nuts
Browned Butter Icing, below
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and smooth. Beat in eggs, pumpkin purée, and vanilla. In another bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add to the first mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans or other nuts. Drop cookie dough but spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets, or use Silpat-type sheets or parchment paper to line baking sheets. Bake pumpkin cookies at 375° for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on racks then spread with browned butter icing (below).
Browned Butter Icing
6 tablespoons butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar, unsifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons milk, or enough for spreading consistency
chopped pecans or other nuts
Brown butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat; remove from heat. Blend in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat in milk to desired spreading consistency. Frost the Halloween cookies and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired.

Eye Ball punch= lime punch mixed with seven up and peeled grapes!
Blood and guts= spaghetti and red sauce.
Bones= meatballs shaped like bones.
Bread from the grave= tombstone shaped garlic bread, use a writing cake decorating tip to write RIP in a garlic butter-parsley mix before baking them.
Mummy fingers= meringue shaped like a finger dip the end in a bit if strawberry or cherry preserves of a bloody effect.
Dr.Deaths final shot= jello shots served in a large hypodermic needle holder..without the needle! Lay them on a silver tray after chilling upright the thickness of the jello makes them not leak out!

Hi I have a recipe for you ** A Chocolate Cemetery Cake**.....You bake a chocolate cake from any box (not from scratch....it will save you LOTS of time) then you frost w/chocolate frosting. Afterwards you get a pack of Oreo's and crumble them all over the tope to the cake. This will make it look like a cemetery. Then you can add gummi worms on the top and to make the graves/tombstones you will need the Vienna Cookies and place them half way in the cake. If you want to get a bit more in detail you can write on the tombstone with frosting.

Once my grandmother made these lady fingers for a party. They were like biscuits died green. She rolled them up to look like a finger shape and she used some kind of nut for the fingernail. It was really scary looking. They looked like witches fingers on a platter. Maybe you should try it and you can use something other that biscuits.

I love both fruits and fresh vegetables better, regardless how they look and taste. You desire a little of both.

If perhaps it's a fruit they have seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.

--Make deviled eggs place olives in the center (makes a great eyeball) you can also pipe in either ketchup or mayo mixed with red food coloring to make them bloodshot eyes
--if making something in a punch bowl get a rubber glove, mix water with food coloring to get a dingy grey color, pour water into glove, freeze, your ice for the punch bowl is now someone's hand...
--make bread sticks using refrigerated biscut (flaky) for dough, shape the sticks into slender fingers (they are flaking skin) and bake use a marinara sauce for dipping, if you would rather, use regular not flaky shape the bread into bones
--Get to full racks of ribs don't cut apart, bbq, smother them in bbq sauce lay them out to look like a rib cage cut a red bellpeper in half place cut side down between ribcage (hence a heart) stick a knife in the bellpepper
Have FUN!
