Instructions

Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until incorporated.
Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase the speed for another 15-30 seconds until smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles using a spatula.
Form tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1.5 to 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the chilled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Immediately place candy eyes on the hot cookies. Let them cool before serving.
