Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Halloween-themed sprinkles
Optional: coloured gel icing for decorating

How long:

Mixing and shaping the cookie dough: about 20-30 minutes
Baking time: 9-11 minutes per batch
Cooling and decorating: about 20-30 mins

Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.

4. Add Eggs:

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Add Sprinkles:

Gently fold in Halloween-themed sprinkles into the cookie dough. The sprinkles will add a festive touch and a burst of colour to your cookies.

7. Shape the Cookies:

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.

8. Bake the Cookies:

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.

9. Decorate with Candy Eyes:

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press candy eyeballs gently into the centre of each cookie. This will give your cookies a fun and spooky appearance.

10. Cool and Decorate:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can also use coloured gel icing to add additional decorations, such as spiderwebs, bats, or other Halloween designs.

11. Enjoy:
