These Halloween cookies feature a chocolate dough studded with Reese's Pieces and topped with candy eyeballs for a spooky look. They come together quickly and are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering.

Directions

Set oven to 350°F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well blended. Don't worry if it looks curdled; it will smooth out once the dry ingredients are added.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then mix until just combined. The dough will be quite stiff.

Gently stir in 1 cup of Mini Reese's Pieces.

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the centers are nearly set. Immediately after removing from the oven, press two candy eyeballs and a few extra Reese's Pieces onto each cookie. Allow to cool fully on the baking sheet.
