Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened (1 stick / 113g)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar 110g
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 50g
  • 1 egg ~50g
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 180g
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt 3g
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 4g
  • 1 cup assorted sprinkles Halloween colors, divided
  • Eye sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

Make the Cookie Dough
    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with a hand (or stand) mixer in a large mixing bowl until the butter is light yellow and the sugars are well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Measure the dry ingredients — flour, salt and baking soda — in a smaller bowl, and whisk to combine.
  4. Pour in half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until combined, then add the other half, blending until the batter has come together.
  5. Measure in ¾ cup of the sprinkles. Stir them into the batter with a spoon or a rubber spatula.
  6. Chill the dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight.)
Bake the Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  2. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon measure to form cookie dough balls. Roll the cookie dough between your palms until rounded and smooth.
  3. Roll in the additional Halloween sprinkles until coated.
  4. Place the cookie dough on the baking sheet, leaving about 2” between each so the dough can spread as it bakes.
  5. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Immediately after they come out of the oven, press the eye sprinkle decorations gently into the tops of the cookies.
  7. Enjoy warm with a glass of your favorite kind of milk!

Notes

  • Adapted from my classic Funfetti Cookie recipe.
  • Please note: I used a 1 tablespoon scoop to form these cookies. If you use a larger scoop, you will have less cookies in your batch!
  • If the cookies are cooled and you'd like them warm to eat, heat up in the toaster oven OR microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 10-15 seconds, or until the centers of the cookie is just slightly gooey.
