Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat margarine and 1/3 c powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in egg, 1 tsp vanilla, almond extract, and pudding mix until blended. Stir in flour just until combined.
- 3. Roll cookie dough into about 1 inch balls (vary size for different size eyeballs) and place on prepared baking sheet. Use your index finger to make a depression in the center of each eyeball. (Cookies will not spread much when baked.)
- 4. Bake in preheated oven for 10-14 minutes until cookies are set and lightly golden on bottoms. Remove to a wire rack (with wax paper underneath the rack) to cool completely.
- 5. To make frosting: in a separate bowl, combine 3/4 c powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and enough milk to get a glaze or drizzling consistency. Divide into 3 smaller bowls and add food coloring to each bowl.
- 6. To assemble cookie: while the cookie is on the cooling rack, use a 1/4 or 1/8 tsp measuring spoon to scoop a small amount of blue or green frosting into the center depression of cookie. Add a chocolate chip upside down to the center of blue or green. Drizzle red frosting on edges of cookie with a spoon to resemble bloodshot eyes. Serve.
Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform cookie sizes: This will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting set properly.
- Be creative with your decorations: You can use candy, sprinkles, or even edible markers to create fun and festive eyeballs.
- Serve the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
