Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- Orange icing (for decoration)
- Black icing (for decoration)
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly. Place a teaspoon of milk chocolate chips in the center and cover with another tablespoon of dough. Shape into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use orange icing to create jack-o-lantern faces on top of the cookies and black icing to add details like eyes and mouths.
Notes
You can shape the dough into other Halloween characters, use different types of chocolate, and add mix-ins for extra texture and flavor.
