These Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies are spooky, sweet, and ridiculously fun to make! They’re soft, chewy, and loaded with festive sprinkles and topped off with candy eyes for the perfect Halloween treat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugars until fully combined.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients from step 2 until fully combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles with a large spoon.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Roll 2-3 tablespoon of the dough into balls and place them evenly spaced onto the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12.
Remove from the oven and immediately press the candy eyes into the cookies while they’re still warm.
Let cool, and enjoy!
Notes
Measure the flour using the spoon and swipe method. Spoon your flour into the measuring cup and then swipe the excess off the top with a knife. If you dip the measuring cup directly into the flour it can pack in too much resulting in too much flour for the recipe.
Use an ice cream scoop when forming the dough balls for even sized cookies.
