With Halloween right around the corner, I thought I would share how to turn an everyday double chocolate cookie into a Halloween Monster cookies that’s an easy party-ready, trick or treating delight.
I know we are all pretty busy, but it doesn’t take much and doing just a little baking makes everyone that much happier. Given that, I’m sharing my simple Halloween cookie trick of adding royal icing eyes and a few orange and yellow chocolate covered candies for a festive finish to this classic double chocolate cookie. How easy is that?
Of course, don’t limit yourself, beyond the Halloween theme you can also make these double chocolate cookie recipe for any upcoming holidays. With just a few turns of the wrist you can skin this cookie by swapping out the chocolate covered candies for some colorful sprinkles and adding in 1 teaspoon of flavoring like peppermint extract for a holiday treat.
Speaking of holiday treats, this cookie is perfect for shipping. It’s soft and chewy, so you don’t have to worry about it crumbling in the mail. Here’s the secret to extra chewy cookies: Karo® Syrup—yep, it’s a must have for any baking pantry.
Now that you are in the know about how to turn every day baking into holiday happiness, get baking and let’s spread some good cheer!

here you have shared great information which maybe most important.
Hi Naomi, These are so cute! I love the idea of adding googly eyes to make the cookie more festive! Did you bake the cookies with the googly eyes on them or did you adhere them afterwards with frosting? Wasn’t sure how the googly eyes handled the heat. Thank you! Lauren
