2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a small bowl and lightly beat them with a fork. Once beaten, add the eggs to the flour along with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix all these ingredients together to create a dough. The mixture will appear a bit dry at first, but don’t worry—it’ll come together once you add the butter.

3. Incorporate the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until it becomes completely liquid. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour it into the flour-egg mixture. Stir everything together until the dough becomes smooth and well-combined.

4. Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking. Using a teaspoon, scoop small amounts of the dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of the spoon, gently spread each portion of dough into a circular shape, aiming for a 10 cm diameter. This will give them the perfect size for your Halloween ghost theme.

5. Bake the Ghost Cookies: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them—once the edges of the cookies start turning a light amber color, they are ready to come out.

6. Cool and Shape: Carefully remove the cookies from the oven and use a spatula to gently lift them off the parchment paper. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. As they cool, they will firm up, making them easier to handle for decorating.

7. Decorate the Ghosts: Once the cookies are completely cool, dust them lightly with powdered sugar to create a ghostly effect. Melt the dark chocolate and use a small piping bag or a fork to drizzle it on top of each cookie to form eyes and a spooky smile.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Your Halloween Ghost Cookies are now ready to be served! These sweet, delicate treats are perfect for a Halloween gathering or just a fun way to celebrate the spooky season.

Enjoy these delicious, spooky cookies that are both easy to make and fun to decorate, adding a festive touch to your Halloween festivities!
