I'm not big on "scary" Halloween desserts. Heck, I'm not big on scary anything...movies, haunted houses, even that candy bowl at Target that cackles at you when you reach for a piece. NOPE. Not for me.
I do love cute Halloween. Silly Halloween. Punny Halloween. My Halloween Pinterest board will give you an idea of my Halloween aesthetic.
Let's dive in. Here are nine of our favorite SILLY, not scary, Halloween cookies:
Bats are the coolest. These cookies are SO SIMPLE to make. Lots of cuteness with not much effort. I made them with my Black Cocoa Chocolate Cut-Out Cookie recipe.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Googly-Eyed Cookies

These cookies are so easy and so cute! A hit with little kids, teenagers, and adults alike.
These might be the first step-by-step photo cookie tutorial I posted on the blog. Before that, I just typed out the instructions. I still love them to this day.
More spiderwebs, this time with a preppy pink and navy vibe. How much do we love that border?!?
Hairy-Legged Spider Cookies x2
Let's stick with spiders for the moment - the cute kind! Whether you make them pink or chocolate, they are the type of spiders you WANT around the house!

Help! I think my husband's bad puns are rubbing off on me. Ackkkkkk! Is this what happens when you've been married for 20 years? If you have a unicorn lover in your life, these are kinda mandatory to make.
OK...these are the "spookiest" of the silly cookies on the list. Candy corn teeth definitely make these fangs fun! They remind me a little of those wax lips from back in the day but way, WAY tastier!
One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater Cookies
Please tell me that you know this song. I don't know if a bunch of songs like these were all on the same KTel album in the 70s, but Purple People Eater, Monster Mash, and Witch Doctor were the songs that played at every Halloween party when I was a kid. Good stuff.
Are candy corn cookies cuter on a stick? YES. Even angry ones.
