One great option is spooky spiderweb cookies. These cookies are made with whole wheat flour, dark chocolate, and almond butter, making them a healthier option than traditional sugar-laden Halloween cookies. Plus, they’re fun to make and are sure to impress your Halloween party guests!
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup almond butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the flour, almond butter, and chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a fork, press down on each ball to flatten it slightly. Then, using the tines of the fork, make a spiderweb design on top of each cookie. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Let cool before serving.
