How to Make Rolo Halloween Cookies
If your kids like to help in the kitchen, this is the perfect halloween cookie recipe for that! Little hands can help roll the dough in the sprinkles and top with a Rolo candy. Just make sure the Rolo’s actually end up on top of the cookie – instead of in little mouths. Not that I know from experience or anything.
Some Halloween cookies recipes can be difficult, but I like easy, so these Rolo Halloween Cookies are really easy. To make it easier to apply the different colored sprinkles and colored sugars to the cookies, place each color in its own individual bowl.
Once you’ve pulled apart the cookie dough from the sheet, roll each ball into a bowl of colored sugars or sprinkles. Then you can place the cookie ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Trying to do it once they’re on the cookie sheet just makes a big mess. Learn from my mistakes!
Then once the cookies are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. While they’re still warm and soft to the touch, place a Rolo candy piece into the middle of each cookie and gently press down.
And aren’t those cupcake spider stands just too cute for words? If you’d like to own your own set, you can purchase them from Amazon. They’re obviously for cupcakes, but we used them to display these super cute Halloween sugar cookies. And we think they turned out adorable, but we may be biased.
