5. Candy Corn Cookies

Sugar cookies can easily be transformed into candy corn – a Halloween favorite. Take your favorite sugar cookie recipe, add orange food coloring, use a triangular cookie cutter, then bake. Dip the tip of the triangle into white royal icing and the base into dark melted chocolate.
