These Halloween chocolate chip cookies combine classic cookie dough with festive sprinkles and optional candy eyes for a spooky look. The dough is chilled for at least 1.5 hours to enhance flavor and texture, then baked until golden. Perfect for Halloween parties or a fun baking project.

Directions

In a bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Add the vanilla extract and egg, then mix until fully incorporated.

Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix on low speed until the dough begins to come together, then increase speed and mix for 15–30 seconds until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Be careful not to overmix; stop once the ingredients are just combined.

Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles.

Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. At this stage, spacing doesn't matter since the dough will be chilled.

Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F.

Place the chilled dough balls on a parchment-lined or silicone mat-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven. If using candy eyes, press them onto the cookies immediately while they are still warm.

Let the cookies cool, then enjoy!
