How to Make Halloween Confetti Cookies

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with silicone mats for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, sugar, and eggs together until creamy and well combined.
3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine.
4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
5. Roll in Sprinkles: Add Halloween sprinkles to a shallow bowl. Using a cookie scoop, scoop a small amount of dough and roll it in the sprinkles, pressing gently to coat.
6. Place and Bake: Arrange the sprinkle-covered dough balls on your baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them while they’re still warm and fresh!

What to Serve with Halloween Confetti Cookies

These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of hot chocolate, a pumpkin-spice latte, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Set them out alongside other spooky treats like Blood Splatter Cookies and Halloween Pumpkin Cookies for a fun, themed dessert spread.

Tips for Making the Best Halloween Confetti Cookies

• Use Room Temperature Butter: This makes it easier to cream the butter and sugar together for a perfect texture.
• Don’t Overmix: Once you add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined to keep cookies soft and tender.
• Watch the Bake Time: Take the cookies out once the edges are firm; they’ll continue to bake slightly on the sheet.
• Use Fresh Baking Powder: This is key for a good rise and tender crumb. Check the expiration date!

How to Store Halloween Confetti Cookies

• Room Temperature: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
• Freezing: Freeze the unbaked, sprinkle-coated dough balls on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a zip-top bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use salted butter?

Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, substitute the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for great results.
