Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup blue frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- Edible eyes (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, pipe blue frosting onto the cookies and decorate with edible eyes, if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil or dairy-free margarine.
- For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
- Dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips can be used for different flavor profiles.
- Consider making a homemade healthier frosting using Greek yogurt and blue food coloring.
