    In this cookie recipe, I choose to use matcha to give the dough the green colour, which is different, unique and scary at the same time. The colour wasn't the only reason that made me use matcha but also, the healthy benefits of it and of course the lovely taste of matcha green tea.

    How To Decorate Halloween Cookies?

    In order to make scary Halloween cookies, you need to be creative in decorating your cookies but also be simple. I don't particularly appreciate using complicated techniques in decorating my desserts; the simpler, the better. You can use a cookie cutter in shapes like a bat, ghost and pumpkin. Use dark sprinkles and food colouring. Few drops of red food colour on top of the cookies will look good and simple at the same time.

    To decorate any Halloween desserts you can use any of the below.
