Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • Green food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Green sprinkles or edible glitter
  • Halloween-themed candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the frosting by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add green food coloring until vibrant.
  9. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
  10. Pipe the green frosting onto each cookie to resemble bubbling brew spilling out of a cauldron.
  11. Decorate with mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and Halloween candies.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Don’t overbake to keep the centers soft and gooey.’, ‘Adjust frosting consistency with milk or powdered sugar as needed.’, ‘Use tweezers for precise candy placement during decoration.’, ‘Cookies can be baked ahead and decorated closer to serving time.’]
