How to Make Werewolf Chocolate Covered Sandwich Cookies

These cookies are made in two main stages: baking the cookies and preparing the chocolate ganache filling. The cookies are piped into fun shapes, chilled before baking, and then sandwiched together with a rich ganache.

Follow the instructions below carefully for the best results.

Instructions:

Start by setting aside six chocolate sandwich cookies. These will become the heads of your werewolves.
Next, take two additional sandwich cookies and separate them. Remove the cream filling and carefully cut the cookies into four triangles. These cookie triangles will become the werewolf’s ears.
Melt the brown chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30 second intervals. Stirr between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip the wide end of each cookie triangle into the melted chocolate. Place two ear pieces between each of the six sandwich cookies. Allow the chocolate to sit for about a minute so the ears can set.
Once the ears are attached to the cookie, completely dip each cookie into the melted chocolate.
Use a fork to lift the cookie out of the chocolate. Gently scrape the bottom the fork against the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
Place each chocolate covered Oreo onto a parchment lined surface. Allow the cookies to dry for about eight minutes. Don’t worry if your chocolate coating isn’t perfectly smooth. These are werewolves, after all! A little texture will actually help make the finished cookies look furry and rustic.

While the cookies are drying, melt the white chocolate melts according to the previous instructions. Put the melted white chocolate into a piping bag and snip a very small opening at the tip.
Now it’s time to give your werewolves some personality.Using either the white or brown chocolate, pipe two small dots onto each cookie for the eyes.
Add another small dot of chocolate underneath the eyes and place a mini candy coated chocolate on top to create the werewolf’s nose.
Using an edible marker, draw a half circle underneath the nose to create the werewolf’s smile. Using the melted white chocolate, pipe three to five small dots along the werewolf’s smile line.
While the chocolate is still wet, use a toothpick to drag each dot downward. This will turn the chocolate dots into little pointed fangs.
Let the teeth sit for about a minute to dry.
The final step is what really brings these little werewolves to life. Take a fork and gently scrape around the surface of the chocolate covered Oreo to create a furry texture. Be careful not to scrape too deeply.
Once you’ve finished adding the fur, your werewolf cookies are ready to serve!

TMI TIPs for Baking:

You don’t have to make every werewolf exactly the same. Some can have three teeth, while others can have five. Make some werewolves happy, some grumpy, and some extra spooky. You could even give each one a different. Giving each cookie its own expression makes them even more fun

Work quickly with the melted chocolate. Chocolate melts can begin to thicken as they cool. If your chocolate becomes too thick for dipping, warm it again in15 second intervals.

Don’t worry about perfection. These cookies should look like cute, spooky werewolves. The fur doesn’t need to be perfectly even, and each face can have its own personality.

Let the chocolate set before decorating. If the coating is still very wet, your facial details may slide around. Give the cookies enough time to dry before adding the decorations.

Storage

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can easily be stored if you want to make them ahead of time. Place the finished cookies in an airtight container and keep them in a cool, dry place. They should stay fresh for up to 4 days. These werewolf cookies can be placed in the refrigerator for up to a week but I keep in mind the condensation can cause the sprinkles and candy to bleed into the chocolate.

Enjoy!

I love that you can start with a simple sandwich cookie and turn it into something totally different with a little melted chocolate and a few decorations. There’s just something about making Halloween treats that are a little creepy and a whole lot of cute. These werewolf cookies are one of those treats that look like you spent way more time making them than you actually did!!

Once you make them, they may just become a new holiday baking tradition in your home.
