You can find the candy eyeballs I use here. But if you don’t see them there, then the best bet is Amazon. You can find Candy Eyeballs in a few different places. Candy eyeballs make these cookies look like they are literally staring back at you and they’re sure to grab the eye (see what I did there?!) of any Halloween-lover in your life.

Last but not least, candy eyeballs are the mix-in that makes these cookies perfect for Halloween. I like to use bittersweet chocolate chips but you can add whatever you like best to your monster eye cookies.

These super chocolate-y cookies are made even better with the addition of chocolate chips. I like to use whole milk, but you could absolutely substitute with skim milk, oat milk or other non-dairy alternatives. You’ll only need 2 tbsp of milk for this recipe, but it’s an important part. Don’t skip this ingredient! SaltĪ touch of salt in a sweet treat brings out the sugary sweetness and makes these cookies taste even better. Baking Sodaīaking soda is used in cookies to give them a chewy texture. You could even opt for dark chocolate cocoa powder if you’re feeling really spooky. Unsweetened cocoa powder gives these monster eyeball cookies their deep chocolate flavor and dark, spooky color. Whatever brand you have in your pantry will work! Cocoa Powder This recipe uses basic all-purpose flour. It might seem silly to add vanilla to a chocolate cookie, but a touch of vanilla extract really brings the chocolate flavor come alive in these cookies (and any chocolate treat!). While a cold egg certainly won’t make or break your cookies, room temperature eggs can lead to fluffier cookies. I recommend letting your egg come to room temperature before adding to your dough. Because brown sugar is hygroscopic (that’s a very fancy term that basically means it will absorb liquid in the dough), using brown sugar in addition to white sugar creates a more dense, moist cookie. This recipe uses both white granulated sugar and brown sugar, adding a slight caramel flavor to the cookie dough. In cookies, butter and sugar work together to add structure and rise to a cookie for the perfect, chewy bite. Butter gives flavor and softness for baked goods. You probably already have most of the ingredients for these Halloween cookies in your pantry – they’re that easy! Butterīutter is always a must for any cookie recipe.
