Monster Mash Cookies

They did the mash, the Monster Mash.

A simple batch of cookies is sometimes the best answer to a problem. Especially if that problem is a class Halloween party that’s coming up this afternoon. These are the literally the best cookies. They are filled with all your favorite things - then you just pop an eyeball on top before they bake! Spooky. Spooky simple.

Monster Mash Cookies

makes 2 dozen

1 cup butter, room temperature

½ cup sugar

1 ½ cups brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ½ cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups dark chocolate chunks

1 cup peanut butter chips

1 cup mini m&m’s

eyeball candies

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars until creamy and lightened in color.

STEP 2

Add eggs and vanilla and whip until light and fluffy.  In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.

STEP 3

Add in dry ingredients until just barely incorporated.  Then add in the chocolate chunks, peanut butter chips, and m&m’s - mix well.  It’s great if they break up a little bit.

STEP 4

Scoop dough onto a cookie sheet and place an eyeball on the top of each cookie. Bake 8-10 minutes until the edges are browned but the center is still light brown.  Let rest 5 minutes on a cookie sheet then transfer to a cooling rack.

Store in an airtight container for up to a week – but no longer!
