Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar (67g)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (186g)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/2–3/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
Candy eyes (optional)

Instructions

Mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Stir in flour, salt, and baking soda until just incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles.
Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of dough, place on baking sheet, cover, and chill 1.5–2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
Bake chilled dough balls 11–13 minutes, until edges are golden and centers slightly soft.
Immediately press candy eyes into warm cookies for spooky effect. Cool 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

Don’t skip chilling the dough – it prevents spreading and creates a chewy texture. Add candy eyes right after baking while cookies are warm for best adhesion.
