Halloween Cookies

White chocolate chip cookies dotted with candy eyeballs and flavored with vibrant colors, these are the perfect spooky treat for Halloween

Why should you make these cookies?

If you’re looking for a fun and spooky baking recipe this Halloween look no further than these cookies! These white chocolate chip cookies are flavored with three different flavorings; matcha, ube, and orange for a fun and vibrant take.

Top these with your choice of spooky toppings like candy eyeballs and sprinkles to take them to that next Halloween level.

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter: Butter gives these cookies their fragrance and flavor, along with that soft texture. Make sure you use unsalted butter otherwise the cookies will be too salty.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar gives the cookies a deeper more caramelized flavor than regular sugar. It also helps to give the cookies a little bit of chew
• Granulated sugar: Regular sugar gives the cookies sweetness as well as a lighter texture
• Egg: Egg helps to bind the cookie dough together and give it a fluffy interior
• All-purpose flour: Flour is the base that holds the cookies all together, if you add too much the cookie will become dry and crumbly so be careful
• White chocolate chips: Chocolate chips are that surprise in every bite, make sure you use a good quality white chocolate for the best flavor

• Ube extract: This is optional but I think ube extract gives the cookies great flavor while also a vibrant purple hue
• Matcha powder: Use a good quality matcha powder for a vibrant green color, you can add as much or as little as you’d like
• Zest of one orange: Orange zest gives the cookies another layer of flavor, and it suits that Halloween orange color!
