- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Decoration:
- Vanilla frosting

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your festive treats.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, ensuring a smooth and consistent dry ingredient blend.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly cream brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until the mixture becomes light, airy, and perfectly integrated.
- Introduce the egg and vanilla extract, blending until the wet ingredients form a cohesive and smooth consistency.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Carefully fold chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Portion the dough into tablespoon-sized rounds, placing them on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing between each cookie.
- Delicately flatten each dough ball using the back of a spoon, creating a uniform shape for even baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges that indicate perfect doneness.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely and firm up.
- Once cooled, apply a layer of vanilla frosting to the flat side of half the cookies, creating a smooth, sweet base.
- Pair the frosted cookies with the remaining plain cookies, forming delightful sandwich cookies.
- Roll the edges of each cookie sandwich in Halloween sprinkles, adding a festive and colorful finishing touch.
- Arrange on a serving platter and delight in your spooky, sweet creation.
Notes
- Customize the cookie’s Halloween spirit by using orange and black sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Replace standard chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate chips to create unique flavor variations.
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
