Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to cream them together until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add the Egg and Vanilla

Crack in the egg and add a splash of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

Step 6: Shape and Bake the Cookies

Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to lightly flatten each ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 7: Cool and Assemble

Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, spread a layer of vanilla frosting on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich, then roll the edges in Halloween sprinkles for a festive finish. Serve and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Halloween Cookies

1. Use room temperature butter: This ensures the butter creams smoothly with the sugars, giving you soft, chewy cookies.
2. Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the cookies; they should be golden around the edges but still soft in the middle when you take them out of the oven. They’ll firm up as they cool.
3. Get creative with sprinkles: Halloween sprinkles come in all shapes and colors. Go wild with orange, black, purple, and even spooky shapes like bats or ghosts for a fun twist!
4. Make-ahead tip: You can bake the cookies ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for a few days. Assemble the cookie sandwiches just before serving for the freshest taste.

Serving Suggestions

These Chocolate Chip Halloween Cookies are perfect all on their own, but if you want to elevate your Halloween spread, try serving them with:

• A glass of cold milk or a spooky Halloween punch.
• Crushed candy on top for extra crunch.
• Ice cream sandwiched between the cookies instead of frosting for an extra indulgent treat!

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your Chocolate Chip Halloween Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you’ve already assembled the cookie sandwiches, place them in the fridge to keep the frosting firm. You can also freeze the cookie dough and bake later. Simply roll the dough into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, pop them in the oven for an extra minute or two.

Now that you’ve got everything you need to make these spooky and scrumptious treats, what are you waiting for?
