Ingredients
  

  • 1 C Light Brown Sugar
  • A stick of unsalted butter softened
  • 2 Eggs do not use brown eggs
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
  • DRY MIXTURE
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 1/4 C Flour
  • 3/4 - 1 C Unsweetened Dutch Cocoa Powder
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • A Bag of M&M Ghouls Mix
  • ORANGE CHOCOLATE SPATTER
  • 4 oz White Chocolate meltable
  • Orange Candy Oil-Based Coloring *as covered in my post.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350° F.
  • Prepare your trays with silicone baking mats
  • Wet Ingredients
  • In a large mixing bowl (or your stand mixer bowl), add in the softened butter.
  • Next, add in the eggs.
  • Now the brown sugar.
  • Vanilla.
  • Mix this together.
  • Let's move to the dry ingredients and add those in (you can thank me for not making you use a separate bowl to mix them in, it serves no purpose than to make an additional bowl to clean up!)
  • Baking powder.
  • Salt.
  • Cocoa Powder (I add the heavier hand as listed on this to make it really yummy, but if you just want the taste and color of chocolate stay on the 3/4 C side.
  • Add in the flour.
  • Mix to combine.
  • Once you've got all the dry ingredients mixed in (scrape the side of the bowl and the bottom to make sure) it's time to HAND FOLD in the Ghouls Mix.
  • Mix in the contents of the Ghoul's Mix, very well. We don't want any cookies having more chocolate than the other, lol.
  • Using a cookie scoop (1.5"), place cookies 2" apart on your prepared baking pan.
  • Leave them in a ball scoop, do NOT FLATTEN.
  • The cookie will bake for 10-12 Minutes Do NOTE The cookies will CRACK on their own while baking.
  • Don't over bake.
  • Naturally, the first batch is going to be the longer bake of 12 minutes.
  • By the second round, you will be at about 10 minutes firm.
  • When you remove the cookie from the oven (with hot mitts on), firmly smack the pan against the countertop (I do this on a layered towel) and the cookies will crinkle more!
  • Allow these to cool, then transfer to a cooling rack (about 10 minutes).
  • Repeat the entire process above until all of our cookies are baked (approximately 24 cookies)
  • Once cooled, it's time to Spatter the Chocolate Cookies from Flying Broomsticks above.
  • Transfer all of the cookies to a silicone baking mat or a large cut of parchment paper.
  • Melt your white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass for 30 seconds, and then 20-second bursts (if more time is needed).
  • Mix the white chocolate until smooth.
  • Add your coloring drop by drop until you achieve a brilliant Halloween orange color.
  • Immediately use your fork and spatter each cookie.
  • The forks' tines will grasp the chocolate, and then above each cookie just dangle the fork back and forth and the spatter will transfer to the cookie below.
  • I've even coated some of the cookies by dipping them 1/2 way into the orange mixture.
  • This is all personal preference.
  • Allow the 'spatter' to dry (about 15 minutes) and then they are ready to feast on!
