Ingredients for Bloody Band-Aid Cookies:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Vanilla Wafer Cookies - these are the crispy cookies found in a package. Do not mistake these with vanilla wafers that are used for banana pudding.
- white icing - you can use the pre-packed icing or scoop some from a tub and into a little bag to pipe it onto the cookies.
- red jelly or jam (any flavor) - this will be used as the 'blood' on the cookies. Alternatively you can use red gel icing, but I think the jelly looks more realistic.
How to make the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Using a fine grater or zester, carefully shave the corners of the wafers into a band-aid shape. This is optional, and you can use them in their rectangle shape as well.
- Using the icing, make a little square patch in the middle of the cookie.
- Using a toothpick, dab it into the jelly and then place it into the middle of the white square for the 'blood.'
- Repeat for all of the cookies. Add to a serving tray and serve fresh!
This is the easiest Halloween treat because it's only 3 ingredients and they are done so quickly! They also taste great!
How to store: Add these cookies in a single layer to a sealable container. Make sure the lid or wrap you use to cover the cookies, doesn't touch the tops of them or else the icing/jelly might get messed up.
Fun tip: Let the kids help with these! After you grate the edges, let them do the toppings! The bloody band-aid cookies are nearly impossible to mess up, and this is a kid friendly recipe!

I love how easy these are to make! You don't have to make something super involved to make a tasty, spooky treat.

The shortbread cookies stayed nice and crisp, and the little "gauze pad" made from white icing really completes the band-aid look. Best of all, they taste delicious despite their spooky appearance - the buttery cookie base pairs perfectly with the sweet icing.

They’re so easy to make but look amazing and fit the creepy theme perfectly. Can’t wait to make these cookies for Halloween!

I am making the bandaid cookies tonight to take to work tomorrow. What’s the best way to store overnight?
