These cookies are a great way to start off the season with just a hint of Halloween flair.
Ingredients you will need
- Butter softened – you can use margarine or lard. any butter alternative will be just fine. the taste will change depending on what you use.
- Brown sugar – add a soft chewy texture to your cookie
- Granulated sugar – adds the sweet to you cookie
- Eggs – binds all the ingredients together
- Vanilla – could also use almond of coconut flavoring for a different taste. Vanilla will give you that warm cooking flavor from your childhood.
- All purpose flour – pastry flour will also work, I have not made these cookies with any gluten free flour alternatives. If you do could you please let me know how it works out.
- Baking soda – helps the cookie to rise
- Kosher salt – salt brings out the flavor of all the other ingredients.
- Chocolate chips – use semi sweet, milk, dark or any chips you like, you can always use them all if that’s what you want.
- Colored sprinkles – the stick sprinkles are what I used, If you find those cute Halloween themed sprinkles out now use those for some added Halloween flair.
How to make Monster Chip Cookies
1. Pre heat
pre-heat oven to 370°f
2.Cream
After allowing the butter to soften and come to room temperature add it to a large mixing bowl. If you forgot to take the butter out to soften you can cut the butter into smaller pieces and it will come to room temperature faster.
Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, and cream using a hand beater or stand mixer if you have it. beat until everything is combined.
3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla
Add 2 eggs and vanilla, and stir until fully combined. beat until light and fluffy, the color will change to a lighter brown as well.
4. Add in your dry ingredients
Add in flour baking soda and salt. beat until fully combined and no flour is visible. Start slow with the hand beater so the flour does not fly all over your kitchen then slowly increase the speed to be sure that all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips
add in chocolate chips and fold them in. do not use the hand beater for this step because you will crush the chips and cut then into pieces. you can use white, milk, dark or really any kind of chocolate chips that you want.
6. Roll in sprinkles
scoop 1.5 tbsp of cookie dough using a cookie scoop or spoon into your hand. roll into a ball then in a bowl of colored sprinkles. roll around in the sprinkles until fully coated then place the cookies on a baking sheet leaving about 2 inches between to allow for spreading.
7. Bake
bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the middle is no longer shiny.
8. Cool
allow cookies to settle on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
