Delightful cookies filled with a gooey ‘slime’ center, perfect for Halloween parties and family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Neon Green Food Coloring
  • 1 tbsp Black Gel Food Coloring
  • 1 cup Halloween Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Add in the vanilla extract and neon green food coloring until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  4. Cream together the salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and milk, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually add the baking soda, cocoa powder, and all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and flatten them slightly. Place a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center.
  7. Fold the edges of the dough over the cream cheese filling, rolling it into a ball. Ensure the filling is encased in the dough.
  8. Roll the cookie balls in Halloween sprinkles to coat.
  9. Place the coated cookie balls on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t overmix to prevent tough cookies.
