Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups Halloween-themed chocolate chips or candies (orange and black melts, candy corn M&Ms, etc.)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in Halloween-themed chocolate chips and candies.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each.
8. Bake 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still soft.
9. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Place a piece of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.
Freeze baked cookies up to 3 months or freeze dough balls and bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to baking time.
For variations, try gluten-free flour, add nuts, or use different candies.
