Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugars together until creamy and well combined.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until completely combined.
- Scoop cookie dough by 2 Tablespoon-sized scoops and roll between your palms to make a smooth ball. Place on baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart and bake in 350F (175C) oven for 10-11 minutes.
- Within one minute of removing cookies from the oven, gently flatten the surface of the cookie using a 1-cup measuring cup (this will give you a smooth surface for decorating the cookie). While cookies are cooling, prepare your frosting.
For the frosting
- Combine cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla extract and salt, stir until combined.
- With mixer on low speed, gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined.
- Add cocoa powder and stir until completely incorporated and frosting is uniform.
Assembly
- Spread or pipe frosting onto cooled cookies (I like to use a piping bag fitted with an open tip to pipe the frosting then smooth it with an offset spatula).
- Sprinkle cookie crumbs evenly over the frosting then gently nestle 1-2 gummy worms on top of the frosting. Enjoy!

Notes
- Use a full-fat, “brick-style” cream cheese, not the spreadable kind sold in tubs.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
