How to make Easy Ghost Cookies
Gather all the ingredients together and needed supplies. A medium size bowl, cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner. Using parchment paper lined baking sheet makes lifting cookies off baking sheet a breeze. And clean up is so easy.
In a microwavable bowl add white candy melts, chopped almond bark or white chocolate chips and heat for 30 seconds. Stir melted chocolate and heat for an additional 15 seconds. Stir again until smooth. If additional time is needed heat for 15 seconds and stir. The residual heat will melt the remaining pieces smooth.
Hold end of Nutter Butter cookie and dip into melted almond bark or melted chocolate so that cookie is mostly covered in white chocolate. Shake off any excess drip before placing the coated cookie on baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
While chocolate is cooling place 2 mini chocolate chips as eyes. They will stick to the white melted chocolate. Allow cookies to harden before serving.
If you prefer to melt some chocolate and pipe on some eyes, that can easily be done. Let me help you!
Melt about 2 ounces of chopped chocolate in microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir. If additional time is needed heat for 15 seconds and stir. You should have a smooth melted chocolate. Place in a ziplock bag or use a piping bag and snip the corner.
Dot on 2 eyes and you can even add an oval of chocolate for a ghostly mouth. Adorable ghost cookies are the top picks with my boys.
Nutter Butter Ghosts are a welcome treat and a perfect peanut butter lover's cookie. It's also easy to make Mummy Nutter Butters too using the same Peanut Butter Cookie. So mix it up and definitely make a few Nutter butter Mummies too.
You can also make Milano Ghost Cookies if you aren't a fan of Nutter Butter Cookies. Halloween Ghost Cookies are trending and so fun to make.

Storage and Freezing
Believe it or not you can freeze these cute little ghost cookies. Lay flat in a gallon size ZipLoc bag placing parchment paper between layers and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow cookies to sit at room temperature for 30 mins to thaw before serving.
Cookies will last a week when stored in a sealed container at room temperature.
