Soul Cakes and Halloween Costumes
“Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble” - Witches’ Speech, Macbeth
End of October and early November is an interesting time of year. Marking the end of the harvest season, October 31st - November 2nd share four separate holidays:
Halloween on the 31st;
All-Saints Day on the 1st; and
All-Souls Day and Samhain on the 2nd.
For such an interesting time of year, it’s no wonder that recipes have appeared across time to commemorate each occasion.
Traditionally baked to celebrate All-Souls Day, Soul Cakes are sugar-cookie-esque spiced cookies (or biscuits) that are made with none of the vanilla extract, baking powder, or baking soda that we’re used to seeing in modern recipes. Rather, they rely on their interesting blend of spices to treat your taste buds!
If you’re looking for something to keep the Halloween season going at school or work even after the holiday has passed, bring in these cookies to snack on!
Have a safe and happy Halloween/ All-Saints Day/ All-Souls Day/ Samhain everyone!
P.S: The fox in the picture is named Elphaba!

Prep: 10 mins Cook: 30 mins Overall: 40 mins
Ingredients*:
¼ cup + 3 tbsp. (100 g) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
2 egg yolks
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 pinch saffron or ground turmeric (for colour)
1 tsp. (2 g) all-spice
½ tsp. mixed spice**
2 ½ tbs. (35 ml) milk
50 g raisins***
* Makes enough for 15-18 2-inch (5 cm) diameter cookies or 24-27 ~2.6-inch (6.6 cm) diameter cookies.
** Mixed spice is a spice blend that includes cinnamon, coriander seed, caraway, nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves, and caraway. I don’t have access to this blend so I added ¼ tsp. cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves individually to make ½ tsp..
*** I didn’t have any regular raisins so I substituted for golden raisins.
To start, preheat the oven to 360℉ (180℃) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
Then, whisk in the egg yolks.
Add flour, all-spice, mixed spice, and milk and stir until the dough holds together.
After, stir in the raisins until they are well distributed.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about o.6-inch (¼ cm) thickness. Then, cut the dough in circles using a cookie cutter.
Recombine and re-roll any dough scraps to get the most cookies possible!
Place the dough circles on the parchment-lined baking sheet - leaving space between each cookie. Cut a plus-sign (or cross) shape on each cookie (adding the raisin is optional).
Bake on the middle oven rack for 15-20 mins - rotating the pan halfway through - until they are golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Overall, I would give this recipe a 5/5. The spices used in the cookies made for a different and delicious spin on the sugary cookies we’re used to nowadays. I had a lot of fun diving into this medieval British treat and hope to try more in the future!
Happy Halloween/All-Saints Day/ All-Souls Day/ Samhain!
Hello Ivan! I don't know much about you but my fellow human friends are big fans of you... I like your debut songs, the lyrics are pretty interesting. Uh, I heard you haven't tried much sweets, so here's a chocolate chip cookie.

Despite not being a close fan, you still happen to like one of my songs. I’m very grateful, which one stuck out most? As for the cookie, I’m not really allowed to ingest sugar while on tour.. but I’ll try to sneak it in. ;)
Of course, thank you. I’ll make sure to work hard for alien stage, so look forward to it! <3
