Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Chill for 15–30 minutes if sticky.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Flatten slightly.
Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the filling, beat butter and marshmallow fluff until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix until airy and creamy.
Pair up cookies by size and fill one half with marshmallow cream. Press the other half on top.
Melt white chocolate or candy melts and dip the tops of the cookie sandwiches.
While the chocolate is still wet, press in mini chocolate chips or dot on gel for ghost eyes. Add sprinkles if desired.
Let set in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill dough before baking for cleaner shapes. Use food gel to tint dough or decorate with Halloween colors. For gluten-free, use 1:1 GF flour; for vegan, sub vegan butter and fluff. Cookies can be frozen before decorating.
