I mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it thicken for 5 minutes. I beat 1 cup vegan butter and ¾ cup sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. I add the flax egg, 1 tsp vanilla, and ½ tsp almond extract. In another bowl, I whisk 2½ cups flour, ½ tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until a dough forms for this festive cookies treat.

I divide the dough and knead in gel food coloring (orange, green, purple, black) for spooky designs in this easy recipe.

I wrap the dough in plastic and chill for 30–60 minutes to firm it up for this cute Halloween treats dish.

I preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment. I roll dough to ¼-inch thick on a floured surface and cut into Halloween shapes (pumpkins, ghosts, bats). I chill shaped cookies for 10 minutes to prevent spreading for this festive cookies treat.

I bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are slightly golden, then cool completely on racks for this easy recipe.

I pipe vegan royal icing or buttercream to create jack-o’-lanterns, spider webs, or mummies, and add sprinkles, candy eyes, or vegan chocolate drizzles for this Cookies Halloween.
