Halloween Cookies
Servings 17 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons black cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 egg yolks at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Halloween M&M’s
- 3 tablespoons Halloween jimmies
- Candy eyeballs for decoration
- Extra Halloween M&Ms and jimmies for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, black cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the Halloween M&M’s and jimmies using a rubber spatula.
- Using a 2-tablespoon capacity cookie scoop, portion the dough into 17 balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Press extra M&Ms, candy eyeballs, and sprinkles onto the dough balls.
- Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes, then let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (Note: Some eyeballs may melt during baking, so you may need to replace them after baking.)
