Ingredients

  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (see notes on how to heat treat for safety)
  • 5-7 Tbsp milk
  • ¾ cup Halloween M&Ms
  • ½ cup candy corn
  • cup peanut butter chips
  • candy eyes, optional

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add vanilla and salt and blend until combined.
  • With mixer on low, slowly add flour to bowl until well combined. Keep mixer on low and add 5 Tbsp milk in until dough comes together. If cookie dough seems too thick, you can add an additional Tbsp or two of milk (I like my cookie dough firm, so I just use 5 Tbsp).
  • Fold in M&Ms, candy corn, and peanut butter chips (or whatever candy you choose to use).
  • Scoop cookie dough into bowls and top with candy eyes if using.

Notes

  • To ensure flour is safe for eating (raw flour can cause foodborne illness), you should bake it before using. Just spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Let cool before using in cookie dough.
