Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, melt butter and blend it with granulated and brown sugars until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  2. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles into the dough evenly.
  4. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls onto a lined baking sheet. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are golden.
  6. Press candy eyes into cookies immediately after removing from the oven. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
