Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter melted for rich flavor; ensure it’s melted but not overheated.
  • 0.33 cup Granulated Sugar adds sweetness and helps with cookie spread; substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 0.5 cup Light Brown Sugar packed for moisture and a caramel-like flavor; dark brown sugar can deepen the flavor.
  • 1 whole Egg acts as a binder for the ingredients; use 1/4 cup applesauce for an egg-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract enhances flavor; opt for pure vanilla for a richer taste.
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour spooned & leveled for cookie structure; a gluten-free blend works if needed.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt balances sweetness and boosts flavor.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda a leavening agent that promotes rising; ensure freshness for the best cookies.
For the Chocolatey Goodness
  • 1.5 cups Chocolate Chips vital for that delicious chocolate flavor; swap for semi-sweet or dark chocolate varieties.
  • 0.5-0.75 cup Halloween Sprinkles for a festive touch; any colorful sprinkles can work for non-Halloween occasions.
  • Candy Eyes optional; Fun decorations for a spooky flair; feel free to omit if not available.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles until evenly distributed in the dough.
  5. Portion out 2-tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  7. Immediately sprinkle candy eyes on top of each cookie after removing from the oven.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
