Making a Halloween gift basket?

Does anyone have any ideas or recipes for Halloween baked goods? I'm looking for decorating tips on making Halloween themed cookies, brownies, anything else, etc. Plus, would it be a good idea to put these items in a woven basket (like those Easter baskets type of thing), tie it with black and orange ribbons, and wrap it in clear wrap? Any help appreciated.

1 cup butter


2 cups granulated sugar


3 eggs


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons baking powder


3 1/2 to 4 cups flour


bag of almond slivers


cinnamon


Directions Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until fluffy. Mix dry ingredients together and beat into batter until a soft dough forms. Refrigerate several hours.





Roll dough very thin and cut into little ghostly triangle shapes. Brush each cookie top with egg whites and add two tiny almond slivers for eyes then sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes on greased cookie sheets. Makes 4 or 5 dozen cookies.





A yummy Halloween tradition!

Reply:My sister has a party every year and I always make something. One of the things this year I am making is a strawberry ghost. You dip the berry in white chocolate and use brown chocolate for the eyes. Cute.
