Super Simple to Make Halloween Cookies
It’s SPOOKY season again! The best time of the year in my opinion and I love to celebrate Halloween with sweet treats. These Halloween Monster Cookies are so simple to make, and your kids are going to love to help. This recipe has 3 ingredients- Chocolate Chip cookie dough, candy eyeballs, and M&Ms. That’s it!! You can even customize the recipe to make it oat and peanut-free.
How to Make Halloween Monster Cookies
Gather Ingredients:
I used chocolate chip cookie dough but you can use any type of dough you’d like. You can even do this with multiple types of cookie dough to make it super special! This time of year it’s also easy to find Halloween M&Ms at all major grocery stores and online. And last but certainly not least you’ll need candy eyeballs (I found these on the baking aisle at my local grocery store). That’s all you need to make the best Halloween Monster Cookies!
Decorate with Halloween M&Ms and Candy Googly Eyeballs:
Separate cookie dough into 24 even pieces and roll into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and decorate with googly eyes and M&Ms. This is where the kids have fun. Let them create as many unique Halloween Monster Cookies as they wish!
Chill and Bake:
Once the cookies are decorated, let the dough chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before baking. The cookie dough tends to get a bit soft during the decorating process, especially if you have little hands helping out. Bake according to the cookie dough package directions. I baked my Halloween Monster Cookies at 350 degrees for 12 minutes and they were PERFECT!
ENJOY!
My son loved making these so much. It’s a super easy way to spend some quality time with your little ones and it brings a smile to both of your faces. I hope you enjoy these Halloween Monster Cookies as much as we did!
