While there are a number of recipes for delicious Halloween treats, many of these tutorials involve a great deal of decorating. These tasty monster cookies offer a simple solution for making a Halloween dessert. The recipe is simple to make and can be customized to fit any holiday. The cookie dough itself contains dark corn syrup, which helps to keep the cookies soft and chewy. To give the cookies a bit of Halloween flare, the recipe calls for the addition of [Reese's Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-and-oreo), which come in festive Halloween colors. A pair of royal icing eyes are also added before baking to give the cookies an authentic monster look. The double chocolate monster cookies are perfect for those who are looking for a last-minute Halloween recipe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Halloween-themed Baking:** There is a trend in creating Halloween-themed baked goods that are both delicious and fun to make. - **Customizable Holiday Recipes:** A trend in creating recipes that can be customized to fit any holiday or occasion. - **Simple and Easy Recipes:** A trend towards simpler and easier-to-make recipes for busy individuals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** There is an ongoing opportunity for the food and beverage industry to create more themed and customizable recipes for special occasions. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry could take advantage of this trend by incorporating holiday-themed baked goods and desserts into their menus. - **Retail:** Retailers could capitalize on the trend by offering pre-made ingredients and baking kits for customers to create their own holiday-themed treats at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monstrous Cookie Sandwich Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/count-chocula-cookie-kit.md) - [DIY Monster Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-pops.md) - [Halloween-Hued Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orangecolored-creme-oreo.md) - [Vibrant Halloween-Themed Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keebler-spookie-fudge-stripes-cookies.md) - [Halloween Cookie Snack Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-cookie-snack-packs.md) - [Seasonally Spooky Shortbread Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcghees-halloween-empire-biscuits.md) - [DIY Chocolate Treat Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-chocolate-pops.md) - [Halloween Candy Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/31-nights-of-monster-mash-creation.md) - [Creepy Candy-Filled Mini Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bundtlet-full-o-reeses-pieces.md)
