Servings: 17 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter salted or unsalted, softened
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup Black cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
  • Halloween eye candies
  • 3/4 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!
