Ingredients
Equipment
- large bowl
- cookie sheets
- wire racks
Directions
- Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C) and let it get ready.
- Grab a big mixing bowl and beat the softened butter with the white sugar until the blend looks creamy and even. Add the eggs individually, mixing well after each one, then pour in the vanilla extract and stir it through.
- In a separate container, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour this dry mix into your butter mixture and combine everything. Gently mix in the chopped Halloween candy until it is evenly distributed.
- Use a rounded teaspoon to scoop portions of the dough and place them onto baking sheets that do not need greasing.
- Place the sheets in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. You will know they are done when the edges turn a light golden brown.
- Let the cookies rest on the hot baking sheet for about a minute. Then, transfer them to wire racks to finish cooling down completely.
