Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 0.5 cup Halloween Sprinkles
  • Candy Eyes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles into the cookie dough.
  4. Form 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  5. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃).
  7. Arrange the chilled dough balls onto a new parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set but slightly soft.
  8. Immediately press candy eyes onto each cookie. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
  • Unbaked dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil.
  • For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
