Voodoo Dolls
As I was creating these dolls, I made stories about them an all-powerful priestess, an ocean spirit, a sinister spirit, giving importance to something mundane. Voodoo dolls can be used for all types of things, both positive and negative, but since it is Halloween, after all, I m making mine a little more spooky and menacing although they are still pretty darn cute, right.

Menacing voodoo doll
I’m sure most of you have heard about Voodoo dolls or have seen them in movies. They’re usually associated with witch doctors, black magic, and, of course, those pins! Voodoo dolls can be used for all types of things, both positive and negative, but since it is Halloween, after all, I’m making mine a little more spooky and menacing…although they are still pretty darn cute, right? These Voodoo doll Halloween cookies are really easy to make and decorate, and add a fun Halloween touch to your parties or gatherings! Do you dare to give them a try?
Toothpicks died blue, replace the traditional pins you see stuck into voodoo dolls, and they are really easy to create! I tried other colors too, but red turned out too pink and much too cute for these guys. You can switch up your “pins” and dye them any color you want, but I really liked how the blue color made them seem more like pins.
The dough for these Voodoo doll Halloween cookies is also not very sweet, so don’t feel bad about totally loading up on the decorating frosting to give the cookies a sweeter taste.
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:
- 2 Cups Flour
- 3 Tsp. Sugar
- 1 1/2 Sticks (3/4 Cups) Butter
- 1/4 Tsp. Vanilla
- 4 Tbsp. Water
- Parchment Paper
- Gingerbread Man Cookie Cutter
- Blue Food Coloring
- Toothpicks
- Cookie Decorating Gel Tubes
In a small bowl, add 3-4 drops of blue food coloring to 1 cup of water. Place the toothpicks into the blue water and allow them to sit for a couple of hours to really soak up the color.
Remove from the water and allow them to dry completely before using.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and vanilla.
Slowly add the water until a dough has formed.
On a lightly floured counter top or flat surface, roll out the dough until it is about 2mm thick.
Cut gingerbread men shapes out, using the cookie cutter, and place the cut-outs onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until just slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, begin to decorate them with “voodoo doll” designs.
Once your toothpicks have dried completely, break each one of them in half and stick them into the decorated sugar cookies in random places. You can add more than one toothpick “pin” to each of the cookies too!
Give these fun Voodoo doll Halloween cookies out to friends or just enjoy the cookies all by yourself. But be careful…you never know which one might be a replica of you! 😉

Reviews for "Witches' Words: A Fascinating Look into the Vocabulary of the Craft"
1. Jennifer - 1 star
I found "Witch Vocabulary Words" to be extremely disappointing. The book claims to provide new and interesting vocabulary related to witchcraft, but it simply regurgitates basic words that anyone who has watched a few Halloween movies would already know. There were no unique or advanced words that would actually enhance my vocabulary. Overall, I felt like the author just tried to cash in on the trendy topic of witchcraft without putting in any effort to provide valuable content.
2. John - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Witch Vocabulary Words," but sadly, it fell flat. While there were a few interesting words sprinkled throughout, the majority of the book consisted of common terms that any novice in witchcraft would already know. The organization of the book was also confusing, with no clear categorization or explanation of the words. It lacked depth and failed to deliver on its promise of expanding one's vocabulary within the witchcraft realm. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a comprehensive and enriching vocabulary guide on witchcraft.
3. Amanda - 2 stars
I was really excited to delve into "Witch Vocabulary Words," but it left me feeling unimpressed. The book seemed like a rushed compilation of words that lacked originality. It offered no detailed context or examples on how to use these words in a meaningful way. Additionally, the author's writing style was dry and uninspiring, making the reading experience even more disappointing. Overall, I was hoping for a more engaging and educational vocabulary resource, but this book missed the mark entirely.

As someone who has a genuine interest in witchcraft and an eagerness to expand their vocabulary, "Witch Vocabulary Words" was a letdown. The book lacked any substantial content, and the few words it did present were basic and unimpressive. The explanations accompanying each word were brief and shallow, leaving me feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. It's regrettable how the book failed to capitalize on the intriguing topic it promised to explore. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an informative and enriching vocabulary guide in the field of witchcraft.
