Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 2 cups assorted mix-ins (such as holiday M&Ms, toffee bits, shredded coconut, peanut butter chips and/or white chocolate chunks)
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs and vanilla until combined. Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until just incorporated, then stir in the chocolate chips and assorted mix-ins.
  • Drop tablespoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; smooth the tops with damp fingers. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until puffed and set, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These cookies are monster sized and monster themed, making them perfect treats for your Halloween party. They bake up crispy on the edges and chewy inside. Feel free to vary the sprinkles and add some non pareils to the mix. Candy eyeballs come in various sizes so play around to see which combo you like best - we happen to think one medium and one large makes the monster look delightfully deranged.

Time 1h30m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup mixed green, purple and orange candy-coated chocolates, such as M&Ms
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mixed green, purple, orange and black Halloween sprinkles and nonpareils
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
48 candy eyeballs

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top and bottom and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well to combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed to combine, scraping the bowl down once to make sure it is mixed well, about 1 minute. Add the oats, candy-coated chocolates, chocolate chips, half of the sprinkles and the pecans if using. Mix on low speed just to combine, about 30 seconds.
  • Spread the remaining 1/2 cup sprinkles in a small bowl. Using a 1/4-cup (2-ounce) ice cream scoop or dry measuring cup, scoop a scant 1/4 cup of dough, roll into a ball and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand. Press the top of the ball in the sprinkles. Place 6 balls of dough on each baking sheet. Arrange 2 eyeballs on each dough ball. (Refrigerate the remaining dough while you bake this batch.)
  • Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the edges are crisp and golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the pans to wire racks to cool slightly, then transfer the cookies to the racks to cool completely. Allow the baking sheets to cool and then repeat with the remaining dough.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips and candy for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Chunky Halloween Candy Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Halloween parties and gatherings. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite candy and chocolate. So get creative and have fun baking these spooky treats!
