Spooky Halloween Cookies Recipe

These cookies are soft and chewy, decorated with green frosting to resemble Frankenstein’s monster, complete with candy eyes for a playful touch. The recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes around 30 minutes to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Green frosting for decoration
Candy eyes for decoration

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate: Once the cookies are cool, spread green frosting on top of each cookie and place candy eyes to create the Frankenstein monster look.
