Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons sprinkles
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- As Needed edible eyeballs sprinkles
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and both sugars and cream until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks in, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles, reserving some for the tops of the cookies.
- Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop or two heaping tablespoons, scoop the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Top with extra sprinkles and edible eyeballs.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
