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!

Halloween Double Chocolate Monster Cookies
Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Argo® Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup Karo® Dark Corn Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1-1/2 cups candy-coated chocolate OR peanut butter pieces
- 48 candy eyeballs
Instructions
Preparation: Heat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a second bowl, beat together sugar, butter, eggs, Karo® Dark Corn Syrup and Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract until well blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolates.
Drop a heaping tablespoon onto parchment lined baking sheets. Lightly press down with the moistened heel of your hand. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until cookies are set but still soft. Cool on pans for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to rack to finish cooling.
Ahhhh these are so scary cute!!

These are AWESOME!! I love the eyes!
These are so cute and kooky, Naomi! I love how the eyes just fall into place wherever.
I never thought I would want to eat something with eyes SO bad! These are SO cute and fun for Halloween!

Very cute idea and a great post! I love how you put the lists on the pics!
These are absolutely adorable!! Never mind the fact that they’re extra chocolaty (and peanut butter too?? swoon!), which is beyond perfect for a chocoholic like me! The only Halloween-themed cookies I ever got growing up were those bland sugar cookie ones shaped like jack-o-lanterns with orange sugar crystals from the grocery store bakery. I only ate about one of those, but I’d be tempted to hoard half the batch of these cute monsters!
Honestly, these are the cutest cookies ever!! 🙂
SOOOO cute!!! my kids would love these! Actually, I would love these!
My boys will go nuts for these!
Love these, and I love the idea that you can swap the colours of the sweets so they’d fit with other holidays too! I want to try them but I can’t think of a corn syrup alternative- we don’t have it in the UK!
These are so fun, Naomi! The perfect treat for Halloween!!!
These cookies are so cute for Halloween ! 🙂
Naomi these are adorable! I’m sure your boys are loving them! Have a fun Halloween!!
What a great idea to put the karo in the cookies. I love that stuff!
These are absolutely adorable!
Haha this post put a huge smile on my face! Such adorable cookies! I’m sure they taste just as good as they look. Hope you had a scary and fun Halloween 🙂

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

This blog was recommended by one of my friends, as it was worth my interest. . The most appreciable part was – “………images…………….” I also loved the in-depth explanation, as I went through 3 similar articles before this one, where I found nothign that valueable.
