How To Make Halloween Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make these creepy double chocolate chip cookies. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Cream this mixture until smooth and creamy, then add in the egg and heavy whipping cream.
Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until the dough comes together. Here’s what your dough will look like!
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Scoop the dough onto non-stick cookie sheets with a cookie scoop or spoon, leaving about 3–4 inches between each to allow room for spreading.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until the edges start to brown (don’t overbake!).
Here is what your cookies will look like fresh out of the oven.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
You technically can add the candy eyeballs when they’re fresh out of the oven, allowing the still-soft cookie to be the “glue” that sticks the candy to the cookies. If you do this, the eyeballs will be a bit sunken into the cookies.
Personally, I prefer to allow the cookies to cool completely, then use cookie icing to glue the eyeballs onto the cookies.
I hope you and your guests love this spooky-fun dessert! 👀
