Halloween Baking: Cookie Ideas
Halloween just isn't complete without cookies! Ginger cookies are a huge crowd favorite and can be decorated in a variety of fun and creepy ways. You can make little “monsters” using food coloring and candy eyeballs, or you dress them up using colored icing and chocolate to decorate them as pumpkins or ghosts.
If chocolate is your thing, you can make decadent chocolate cookies, stuff them with half of a Milky Way, and sprinkle them with sea salt. Not every Halloween treat has to look ghoulish, and these are dark and sinful looking enough all on their own. You can also make chocolate chip cookies and cut them in half. Then use vanilla frosting, red food coloring, slivers of almond, and mini marshmallows to make “Dracula teeth.”

A Simple Staple: Chili
Nothing says Halloween like a big pot of chili cooking on the stovetop. Our Vegan Quinoa Chili includes some of our favorite grains and beans: quinoa, lentils, black beans, kidney beans, and more. Plus, with the flavorful addition of sweet potatoes, cocoa and cinnamon, your chili will be in a league of its own.
If you are looking for something a little more traditional, our 13 Bean Chili uses our easy-as-ever 13 Bean Soup Mix to create an tasty and delicious recipe. Use ground beef or ground turkey to add some additional protein to this hearty dish. A quick time-saving tip with this recipe is to cook your beans up in the pressure cooker prior to simmering on the stove.
