Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Halloween-colored M&M’s or candy-coated chocolates
- 1/4 cup orange and black sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Add mix-ins: Stir in the chocolate chips, M&M’s, and sprinkles.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra M&M’s and sprinkles on top for decoration. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
- Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra festive flair, use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to shape the dough or press candy eyes into the tops before baking.
