Halloween Marble Cookies
These Halloween Marble Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips! Made with orange colored dough and chocolate dough swirled together, they're the perfect spooky treat for Halloween!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dry milk powder optional
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 drops orange food gel
- 3 cups chocolate chips a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips or whatever you have
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 the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour (reserving 3 tablespoons for later), baking powder, baking soda, milk powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Divide the dough evenly between two bowls.
- In one bowl, mix in 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and half of the chocolate chips.
- In the second bowl, mix in the reserved flour, 6 drops of orange food coloring, and the remaining chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of each dough. Divide each scoop in half to make four smaller balls of dough. Stack the pieces, alternating colors, then gently roll them together to create a marbled dough ball. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
- Place onto the baking sheet and gently press each one to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes. Enjoy!
