Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (67g)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (186g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2–3/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
- Candy eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Combine melted butter with both sugars in a large bowl and mix until smooth and glossy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually stir in flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and chill 1.5–2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Notes
Always chill the dough before baking to prevent spreading and ensure chewy texture. Add sprinkles just before shaping and candy eyes immediately after baking for best results.
