Monster Eyeball Cookie Pops

Directions

1. Set your oven to 350°F and lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
2. Whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and Kosher salt in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter with both brown and granulated sugars until creamy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until incorporated.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
6. Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop up 3 tablespoons of dough, shape into a ball, and place 4 balls on the sheet, two at each end, offset so that lollipop sticks won’t bump into each other.
8. Push a lollipop stick about three-quarters of the way into each dough ball.
9. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the edges just start to turn golden and the centers are set.
10. Take the pan out and set it on a wire rack. Use the side of a spatula to nudge any cookies that have spread out of shape back into round.
11. While the cookies are still hot, press candy eyeballs into them.
12. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
