It’s getting eerily close to Halloween, which means the Biscuiteers bakery is busy preparing plenty of sweet treats for the spookiest season of all. Today, we’re sharing how to make one of our most fearsome creations, Dracula Halloween Sugar Cookies, using our Chocolate Cookie Recipe. These fang-tastic cookies are perfect for Halloween parties, place settings or as a tasty trick or treat gift. Step 1: Bake your Chocolate Dracula Sugar Cookies First start by baking your own chocolate cookie base using easy chocolate cookie recipe, which includes a handy guide for rolling and cutting your dough. We use a special cutter for our Halloween characters, but you can make one of your own by drawing a template and cutting around the dough, we do this occasionally with our bespoke orders! Step 2: Preparing the icing Once your chocolate Dracula cookies have come out of the oven and cooled down, now the fun can really begin. ![]()
You will need to make a batch of line icing to create the detail and flood icing to create the main colours.
For our Dracula Sugar Cookies, we used line icing in the color white and black, for our flood icing we made a white, red and black. Step 3: How to decorate Dracula Halloween
Sugar Cookies Step 1: Draw the outline on your biscuits. This creates the 'walls' so that your flood icing wont escape. Let this dry for around 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Flood the face area with the white flood icing, then fill the middle of the jacket with the white- this will create his jacket. Fill the hairline and the jacket with black icing, using a cocktail stick to reach the narrow areas. Use the nozzle of the squeeze bottle to move the icing into place and be careful not to 'over fill' the biscuit with the flood icing. Lastly, use your red flood icing fill the cape area. ![]()
Step 3: Place the biscuits onto a sheet of greaseproof paper and put back into the oven set to the lowest temperature it can go (usually around 120°F) for 40 minutes. **Don't worry, the biscuits will not bake any further, the low heat dries the icing and creates that glossy, professional look!**
Step 4: When the biscuits come out of the oven, you will need to let them cool for around half an hour. ![]()
Step 5: Use the black line icing to outline and give more definition the cloak, shirt and hairline. The will cover up any areas where the black and white flood icing have bled into each other. Don't forget to add some eyes, a mouth and eyebrows using the black line icing. You can also add some hands, a pocket and those all-important fangs using your white line icing.
Step 6: Let the biscuits dry for around 10 minutes before you wrap them up or pack them away to be used as gifts. Don't feel like you need to stick to our designs... you can get creative with different colours, shapes and sizes using our easy techniques to create your own array spooky characters.
