Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 3/4 cup Flour
- 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 2–4 pkg Ghost Peeps
- Tooth Picks
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter and both sugars in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed. Note, the butter must be at room temperature and soft but not melted for this to work. Do not use margarine.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and honey and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt and whisk until combined.
- Slowly mix in the flour mixture with wet ingredients one cup at a time, mixing until combined. Do not over mix.
- Scoop cookie dough onto a large baking sheet. Make sure you use a greased cookie sheet, parchment paper, or a baking mat. To create smooth cookies, roll the cookie dough balls round in your hands before placing on pan.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking times may vary.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan with a rubber spatula.
- Once cookies are cooled, stick one end of a toothpick into the bottom of a ghost peep and the other end into the cookie. Remove toothpicks before eating.
Notes
- Bake time will vary. I always start at the low end to prevent over cooking.
- I made large cookies to accommodate the ghosts which yielded 16 cookies. If you make them smaller, it will yield about 21 cookies.
