Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for filling)
- Optional: Orange and black food coloring for dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- If desired, divide the dough in half and tint one half orange and the other half black.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread a thin layer of chocolate chips on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
- Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
- For an extra spooky touch, you can add edible googly eyes or Halloween-themed sprinkles after frosting.
- The dough can be chilled for 30 minutes before baking if it seems too soft.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
