Chances are if you’ve been scrolling through TikTok this season, you’ve come across a hoard of mouth-watering, double-layered Halloween cookies that give off all the fall-time feels. If you’re eager to bake them yourself, whipping up these seasonal treats couldn’t be any easier. 

With Autumn drawing ever nearer, we can almost taste the flavor of candy corn and caramel apples on our tongue. After all, fall is the season when we all have the chance to relive our childhoods and indulge in a bag of candy or two, (or three!)

Perhaps one of the most iconic festive treats is the Pillsbury Halloween cookie. First introduced back in 1992, the brand’s ‘Slice n’ Bake’ cookies come in a long tube of cookie dough that when sliced, reveals different shapes and characters. 

Some of the most iconic variations of Pillsbury’s dough come in the form of various Halloween-themed figures, such as a ghost, a pumpkin, and a cat. 

People on TikTok have started getting innovative with the classic cookie dough, turning them into indulgent, chocolate chip-tiered snacks, all the while playing vintage Halloween tunes in the background to get into the spirit.
