Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter salted or unsalted, softened
  • cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • cup Black cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ¼ cup Halloween sprinkles
  • Halloween eye candies
  • ¾ cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
  • Mix in the flour, black cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix just until the flour mixture disappears. Fold in the Halloween nonpareil sprinkles and the peanut butter chips.
  • Using a small cookie scooper (2tbsp) scoop out equally sized cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, top with the spooky eyeball sprinkles and extra pb chips. Let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet for 15 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  • Let the cookies cool down some more before enjoying them with a tall glass of cold milk or serving them at your next Halloween party!
