Eggless Halloween Cookies Recipe
These Easy Eggless Halloween Cookies are my kids’ favorite cookies to celebrate with friends! It’s almost a tradition that I make them for the school’s Halloween celebration, and everybody loves them.
The recipe is based on my egg-free vanilla cookies. For some wholesome flavor, I added pumpkin spice to the cookie dough.
I love them because they only require 4 basic ingredients like butter, brown sugar, flour, and vanilla. They’re super easy to make, no chilling time is needed. And can be decorated with a simple sugar glaze.
These cookies with crispier edges and irresistible butter taste will be a BIG hit in your Halloween celebration!
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE EGGLESS HALLOWEEN COOKIES?
This is the best part of this recipe! You just need 4 ingredients:
- Flour
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Vanilla
- Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon (optional)
You will also need Halloween themed cookies cutter.
This is the one I used for these photos: Jack-o’-lantern cookie-cutter with Interior Cut-Outs. To be honest, it was kind of tricky and time-consuming to transfer the cookies to the baking sheet without breaking them.
So, then I bought these much simpler Halloween cookie cutters and loved them. They are easy to use and you can get creative using different glaze colors and sprinkle.
HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS HALLOWEEN COOKIES
- Cream butter and brown sugar.
- Add flour and spices.
- Roll the dough out, between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into your desired shapes.
- Bake and decorate as desired.
SIMPLE COOKIE GLAZE
This a very simple glaze! You’ll need just confectioners’ sugar, milk and pinch of salt. It will harden a little if you place the cookies in the refrigerator. However, if you want the glaze to really set hard add 1 teaspoon light corn syrup.
If you like you can use sprinkles too!!

Easy Eggless Halloween Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup (210g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (optional)
- 9 tablespoons (125g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (88g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1 cup (140g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- pinch salt
- Orange gel food coloring
Instructions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pumpkin spice if using. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer beat together on medium speed the sugar and butter until light, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
- Reduce mixer’s speed to low. Add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. If the dough looks grainy, don’t worry, turn off the mixer and put it together with your hands until uniform and smooth (like clay).
- Roll the dough out, between two sheets of parchment paper, to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into your desired shapes. Then transfer them to the prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies about 1-inch apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. Cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate to your liking.
Glaze:
- Whisk the confectioners’ sugar, milk and salt in a medium bowl. It should be quite thick. If it is too thick, add 1/2 tablespoon more of milk. If it is too thin, add 1-2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar. Add gel food coloring. You can pour some icing into different bowls if using multiple colors if desired.
