Looking for a fun treat for a Halloween party? Then check out these chocolate skeleton cookies made with a gingerbread man cookie cutter. These are so cute and fun for any Halloween get together. You could bag them and give them as a Halloween treat at school halloween parties.

I love that they are made with just simple ingredients and use the gingerbread man cookie cutter which you probably already have at home.
