Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules optional
- 1 ¼ cup Halloween m&m candies
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 50- 60 Candy Eyeballs a mixture of small, medium and large
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on medium speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer until blended and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until fully blended for another minute. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and coffee granules until well blended.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter sugar mixture a little at a time and mix on low speed until full combined, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips and m&m candies with a wooden spoon until evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch cookie balls spacing them out 1-2 inches apart, then flatten with your fingers to even them out a bit. Add candy eyes to the top of the cookies using a combination of small, medium or large eyes to create one of a kind monsters!
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set and the middle is soft, they will not look done but they will set once out, don’t over bake!
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to a week, if they last that long!
