Halloween Treats

Bones of the Dead Cookies

In a large bowl combine the flour, egg whites, sugar, and lemon juice.

Work in the nuts, leaving them whole, and continue kneading until you have a fairly firm dough.

Roll the ball of dough out with your hands on your work surface so as to obtain a snake; cut the snake into half-inch thick slices and shape the bit into bones with your hands.

Preheat your oven to 360 F (180 C).

Butter your cookie sheet, dust it with flour, lay the bones on it, and bake them for about 20 minutes.

Let cool before serving.

Creepy Crawly Spider Cookies

Place 1 cup of chocolate chips in a 2 to 4 cup glass measure.

Heat on high in the microwave for 1 minute.
Remove, stir, and heat on high for 1 minute.

Let set for 1 minute and stir until chips are melted.

Or melt chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan over low heat until melted.

Mix in the cereal and the coconut.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper for the spider bodies.

Melt the second cup of chocolate chips.

Gently stir in chow mein noodles (being careful not to break noodles up).

Pick noodles out one by one and attach them to the spider bodies for legs (8 to a spider).

Add dots of frosting for eyes.
