Ingredients

  • cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk room temperature
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups halloween candy chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350℉/177℃.
  • Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix only to blend.
  • Stir in candy.
  • Drop by rounded spoonfuls, or use a 1½ Tablespoon cookie scoop to portion, onto prepared pans.
  • Bake until golden brown but still soft in the middle, about 15 minutes.
  • Allow to cool on pan.

Notes

  • Do not use any fruit flavored, licorice, or hard candies in these cookies.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are room temperature!
  • Room temperature is about 70℉/2℃.
  • Be careful to not over mix the cookie dough.
  • Be sure to line your sheet pans.
  • Since these cookies spread quite a bit, it's best to place 6-8 cookies per pan.
  • If baking multiple pans at a time, be sure to check them at about 8 minutes into bake time.
  • Let the cookies cool on the pan!
