Halloween Festive Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened.
02 - 2/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar.
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
04 - 2 eggs, large.
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
06 - 2/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened.
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda.
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt.
09 - 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour.
10 - A 16-ounce container of white frosting.
11 - 5 drops of neon green gel food dye.
12 - M&M's in purple, orange, and green.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get a baking sheet ready with either parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Pick out the green, purple, and orange M&M's, then toss them into a small dish for later.
03 - Mix the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda together by sifting them into a bowl. Leave it aside.
04 - Beat the softened butter with sugar and brown sugar using a mixer until it turns creamy and fluffy.
05 - Throw in the eggs and vanilla, and keep mixing till it's all one smooth mixture.
06 - Slowly work the dry stuff into the wet mixture, mixing bit by bit until it's fully blended.
07 - Stir about half the M&M's into the cookie dough until they're all spread around.
08 - Roll the dough into balls roughly 2 inches each. Push the leftover M&M's onto the tops of each one.
09 - Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 9-11 minutes until the sides look firm. Let them sit on the tray for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool off.
10 - Soften the frosting by heating it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Mix in the green food coloring until it's just the shade you want.
11 - Use a flavor injector to stuff the cookies. Poke the side of each one and fill it until the frosting bubbles up slightly on top.

# Notes:

01 - These bright, Halloween-themed treats are loaded with chocolate and a neon green filling inside. Colorful M&M's give them extra flair, making them perfect for festive parties or spooky celebrations.
02 - Serve these spooky cookies with warm cocoa or display them on your Halloween dessert table for an unforgettable treat.
