Happy Halloween! It is time to eat a spooky and scary cookie to celebrate Halloween. These cookies have a soft and sugary center with eyes following you in every bite.
The inspiration...
I was looking for a tasty and spooky-looking cookie to make for Halloween. My shopping turn into me buying many Halloween supplies as I got more and more excited about creating a Halloween cookie. I found these candy eyes in the supermarket and I thought this is perfect to mix in with my sugar cookies. Then, I found so many different kinds of sprinkles that I mixed to make this spooky mix. This is a classic sugar cookie recipe with spooky eyes and sprinkles mixed into the sugar cookie.
These are easy cookies that you can make for a Halloween celebration. They are perfectly scary with those eyeball candies following you with every bite.
A few tips...
Candy eyes and sprinkles - I found my decorations at the supermarket because it is Halloween season. You can also find fun candy decorations online that are Halloween-themed.
White chocolate chips - these are perfectly mixed into the cookie because it adds a creamy chocolatey consistency to the cookie. I highly recommend using white chocolate chips but you could substitute any chocolate chip.
Rolling the dough in sprinkles - When you roll the dough in the sprinkles some of the sprinkles will fall off and that is ok. You could also fold in the sprinkles in the batter. I prefer the sprinkles on the outside to create a crunchy texture on the outside and a gooey texture on the inside.
Storage - these cookies will last 5-7 days in an air-tight container. They are delicious even 7 days later!
Halloween Sugar Cookies
Serving size: 16
Total Time: 30 minutes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup of candy eyes
1/4 cup sprinkles
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, with a handheld mixer or whisk, cream the softened butter and sugars together. Whisk for about 3 minutes until smooth.
Step 3: Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Fold in the flour, baking soda, salt, cornstarch until dough forms.
Step 4: Fold in the white chocolate chunks in the dough until evenly throughout.
Step 5: Prepare the sprinkles to roll the dough in. Add the sprinkles to a bowl with the candy eyes. Scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll the dough in the sprinkles. You can press the sprinkles around the exterior of the dough to make the sprinkles stick. I also placed the eyes on top so that the eyes were evenly throughout. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and are brown on the outside.
