Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup Halloween-themed M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates (orange and black)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween-themed M&Ms.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Substitute your favorite candies or nuts for added flavor and texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
