How Do I Make A Batch of Halloween Monster Sprinkle Cookies?
If you’re wanting to make these Halloween Monster Sprinkle Cookies, then I have the right recipe for you. I am going to walk you through this recipe, so all you have to do is make it.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla, egg, and two to three drops of purple gel food coloring. Beat until well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. A spoon may be needed to mix in the last of the flour if the dough is too thick for a mixer.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough from the bowl and roll into a ball. Dip the balls into the Halloween sprinkles, leaving the bottom free of sprinkles.
- Place each rolled cookie on the prepared baking sheet and press the balls down slightly with a cup’s bottom. Press candy eyes into the tops of the cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies’ bottoms are beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
How to Keep the Cleanup Easy and Stress-Free
Cleaning up after the mess from making cookies might seem like a huge hassle. However, there are a few things you can do to keep the cleanup process easy and stress-free. Always use parchment paper on baking sheets to avoid getting your baking sheets dirty.
