These chocolate Halloween cookies may have less butter than typical thumbprint cookies, but they taste every bit as soft and delicious. The candy corn pieces make a nice change from jelly as a filling for these Halloween cookies.

These Halloween cookies make a perfect party treat for an orange-and-black-themed Halloween party. The cookies start with a white cake mix, which makes it easy to tint them orange with food coloring. I like to use dark Hershey kisses for this Halloween cookies recipe, but feel free to go with milk chocolate if that's what you prefer.
