I LOVE the idea of them&mdash;the fact that you can slice into a tube of ordinary sugar cookie dough and discover a pumpkin, or a Christmas tree, or a heart on the inside absolutely delights my inner child. It&rsquo;s magical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, I like the IDEA of these cookies more than the final product. What can I say? I&rsquo;m a sucker for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/recipes\/\">homemade dessert recipes<\/a>, and there&rsquo;s no way that cookies from a tube can compare to sugar cookies that have been made with real butter, the best vanilla extract, and of course, love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"These Slice and Bake Halloween Cookies are fun and easy sugar cookies with surprise designs hidden inside! #sugarhero #Halloweenrecipes #sugarcookies #sliceandbake\" data-pin-title=\"Slice and Bake Halloween Cookies\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1.jpg\" alt=\"2 rolls of slice and bake Halloween cookies with a knife cutting into the ghost roll.\" class=\"wp-image-19306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m thrilled to share this recipe with you today!

One thing that really helps is using a high-quality gel food coloring like Americolor or the Wilton Color Right system (not regular Wilton colors). The powdered coloring from The Sugar Art is also very good. However, at the end of the day, you&rsquo;re not going to get bright colors without using a lot of coloring, which not everyone wants to do. In that case, please know that your cookies will be lighter in color, but no less delicious or cute!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697473832835\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to prevent sugar cookies from spreading<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These designs look best when the cookies don&rsquo;t spread much, so here are a few tips to keep your sugar cookies from spreading:<br><strong>1.<\/strong>&nbsp;Use cold butter &ndash; this particular recipe calls for cold butter, not room temperature, so make sure you&rsquo;re following that instructions.<br><strong>2.&nbsp;<\/strong>Don&rsquo;t overbeat &ndash; the more you beat the dough, the more air gets beaten into it, which will result in cookies that spread during the baking process.<br><strong>3.&nbsp;<\/strong>Chill early, chill often &ndash; cold temps are your best friend. Working with cold dough, and baking cold cookies, will help them keep their shape. When in doubt, stick that dough back in the fridge for a quick chill!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697473851589\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Make-ahead and storage information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you want to make the cookie dough in advance, you can wrap it well in plastic wrap and freeze it in a freezer bag for up to 6 months, or keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let the dough defrost in the refrigerator overnight before using.<br>You can also freeze the cookie logs for up to 6 months. To use, let them defrost on the counter until soft enough to cut into rounds, then slice and bake. You may need to add an additional minute or two to the cooking time if they are very cold when baking. Once baked, the cookies are best enjoyed within 5 days.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"These Slice and Bake Halloween Cookies are easy, fun Halloween sugar cookies with surprise designs hidden inside!\" data-pin-title=\"Slice and Bake Halloween Cookies\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3.jpg\" alt=\"5 rolls of Slice and Bake Halloween Cookies laying side by side on a marble surface.\" class=\"wp-image-19308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/slice-and-bake-halloween-cookies-3.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"%f0%9f%91%bb-more-halloween-desserts\">&#128123; More Halloween Desserts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/witchs-brew-halloween-punch\/\">Witch&rsquo;s Brew Halloween Punch<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/bloody-truffles\/\">Bloody Truffles<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/brain-cupcakes\/\">Brain Cupcakes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/2-ingredient-pumpkin-brownies\/\">2-Ingredient Pumpkin Brownies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/monster-cake\/\">Monster Cake<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-roundup-item wprm-recipe-roundup-item-20814 wprm-recipe-template-cwp-roundup\" data-servings=\"24\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal nopin\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250\" alt=\"Close up of a Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Cupcake with bite removed to show interior.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes-7-FEATURED-IMAGE.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cwp-roundup-content\">\n    <h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-none\" id=\"caramel-stuffed-chocolate-cupcakes\">Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">These Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes are deliciously moist, with big swirls of vanilla buttercream and a gooey caramel center.

Mix purple gel food coloring into the larger portion of the dough&mdash;you can either use your mixer, or knead it in by hand. If you&rsquo;re using your hands, I HIGHLY recommend wearing plastic gloves to keep your hands clean! Note that the dough will be a lighter color once it bakes.

Once the cats are firm, lightly brush one with egg white and press another cat on top. Continue to press the cats together until you have a long column of black cats. If it gets unwieldy, you can make several smaller columns, or return the cats to the freezer for a few minutes to firm up again. As you&rsquo;re stacking them, make sure you press them together well, and pinch any extremities, like their legs and tails, together as well. Once all the cats are in one column, freeze again until very firm, 20-30 minutes.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-20810-step-0-8\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">When the cats are firm, pinch off a section of the purple dough and roll it into a long skinny rope.

Slice the end off of the cookie dough log (the end will always be misshapen&mdash;more for you to snack on!) then slice cookie rounds a little more than &frac12;-inch thick. Place the cookies on the baking sheets and bake for 9-10 minutes, until slightly puffy and set around the edges. Don&rsquo;t wait for them to take on any color, and don&rsquo;t overbake! These are best when still soft in the middle. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-video-container-20810\" class=\"wprm-recipe-video-container\"><h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-video-header wprm-block-text-none wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\" style=\"\">Video<\/h3><div class=\"wprm-recipe-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M2EZRbvf9P0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"recipe-20810-notes\" class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\"><h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-none wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\" style=\"\">Recipe Notes<\/h3><div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\"><span data-slate-node=\"element\" style=\"display: block;\">This recipe provides instructions for making the black cat cookie design, just as an example, but you can use the same basic concept to make an endless variety of designs, just by swapping out the colors and shapes.

Once the column is firm, roll the yellow dough into a fat tube the length of the bats. Take a knife and cut a slit along the length of the tube, going to about the center of the circle. Paint one edge of the bat&rsquo;s wings with egg whites. Insert the wings into the slit in the yellow tube, to make it seem as if the bats were flying in front of the moon.
