Ghost cookies are really one of the easiest ever Halloween treats to make! They only take three ingredients PLUS the kids can help make them AND since the goal is to resemble ghosts there is really no right or wrong way!

I love finding easy recipes that my kids can help with; especially my 7 yr old. I’ve always started my kids in the kitchen with me early so they can develop a love of cooking and baking. Since many of my childhood memories are of spending time in my Grandmas and families kitchens, I’ve always wanted to recreate those memories with my kids.

One of the great things that I love about these Ghost cookies is that you can use this recipe for any type of creations you and your kids want to create with store-bought Nutter Butter cookies! You can change up the candy coating and use a different color, different sprinkles, you can use edible food safe markers to make super cool designs!
 
 To make these Ghost cookies, all you need is candy coating (white), 1 package of Nutter Butter peanut butter cookies, and either miniature semisweet chocolate chips OR large black sprinkles for the eyes. For our cookies, I used the black sprinkles since we already had those in our Pantry.
