Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in chocolate chips and Halloween M&M’s.
Scoop and bake: Scoop dough into balls, place on baking sheets, and top with extra M&M’s, sprinkles, and candy eyeballs. Bake for 9–11 minutes.
Cool and enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewiness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
