Halloween Cauldron Cookies (Printable Version)

Chewy cookies bursting with chocolate chips and candy corn, perfect for festive autumn celebrations.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Sugars

04 - 1 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1 cup packed brown sugar

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-Ins

09 - 1 cup chocolate chips
10 - 1 cup candy corn

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and optimal cookie texture.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
03 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully combined and smooth.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute leavening agents and seasoning.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until incorporated to maintain a tender dough.
06 - Gently fold in the chocolate chips and candy corn, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
07 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading.
08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges turn golden and centers are soft. Cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use room temperature butter and eggs for better incorporation. Avoid overmixing after adding dry ingredients to maintain a chewy texture.
02 - Check cookies at 10 minutes to prevent overbaking and ensure a soft center. Cooling on the baking sheet before plating prevents breakage.
03 - Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
04 - Customize by substituting or adding Halloween candies, nuts, or spices like cinnamon for seasonal flavor variations.
