Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and white sugar until creamy. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.
  5. Split the cookie dough evenly into three bowls. Add a different food coloring to each bowl and stir until each is a distinct color.
  6. Pinch off a small piece from each colored dough, combine them into a single ball, and place it on a baking sheet.
  7. Repeat step 6 with the remaining dough. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Immediately after removing from the oven, press candy eyeballs into the warm cookies. Let them cool to room temperature.
  9. Serve and enjoy your spooky treats!
