Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Cauldron Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your mixing bowls, measuring cups, and baking sheets.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this into the wet mixture while mixing gently.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and candy corn, ensuring even distribution throughout the cookie dough.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the sheet, leaving space between them.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to set.
