I don´t celebrate Halloween nor do I get particularly excited by it, but when I saw the picture of the cookies similar to those of mine on Pinterest, I told myself that they´re soo cute and that I need to make them. So here are Apple Cinnamon Halloween Mummy Cookies. They are made of linzer dough with a hint of cinnamon and grated apples with cinnamon. Thanks to stripes placed carelessly on the top and eyes, the cookie looks like a mummy. I personally think that if you add eyes to basically anything, it immediately looks super cute. Since I didn´t find any chocolate eyes in shops, you probably need to make them at home as well, but don´t worry, it´s easy-peasy. You can vary the filling according your taste as well, but what is more autumn than cinnamon and apples. The taste of cinnamon linzer dough and apples is a great combination so you get tasty and visually appealing cookies. This way, you can prepare little Halloween at home even though you may not celebrate it 😉
