Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and a perfect golden color on the cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a fragrant and smooth batter.
  4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  6. Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and candy corn, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough for sweet surprises in every bite.
  7. Drop Dough on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the dough, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and centers remain soft. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze cookies individually wrapped in plastic wrap or in freezer-safe bags for up to 2-3 months.
  • Reheat cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to enjoy warm, gooey treats.
  • Use parchment paper when baking to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Customize cookies by swapping mix-ins such as different chocolates, nuts, or seasonal candies.
  • Room temperature butter and eggs help achieve the best texture in your cookies.
  • Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies; mix just until ingredients are combined.
