Delightfully festive chocolate chip cookies with a spooky twist, perfect for Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (67 g)
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled, 186 g)
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
  • ½-¾ cup Halloween sprinkles
  • Candy eyes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the butters and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Blend until everything is well mixed.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, starting on low speed. Increase speed after the flour starts to combine, mixing until just smooth.
  4. Fold in chocolates and sprinkles: Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Chill the dough: Scoop out 2-tablespoon balls of dough and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1.5 to 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  6. Preheat and prepare for baking: Once ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the chilled cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies: Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set but still soft.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not skip chilling the dough for better texture. Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
