Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c margarine, softened
1/3 c powdered sugar
1 large egg
3/4 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
3.4 oz package instant vanilla or white chocolate pudding mix (I used French vanilla mix in picture and the eyes are yellow-ish)
2 c all-purpose flour
FROSTING:
3/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp milk, as needed to drizzling consistency
red, blue, green food coloring
27 semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat margarine and 1/3 c powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in egg, 1 tsp vanilla, almond extract, and pudding mix until blended. Stir in flour just until combined.
  • 3. Roll cookie dough into about 1 inch balls (vary size for different size eyeballs) and place on prepared baking sheet. Use your index finger to make a depression in the center of each eyeball. (Cookies will not spread much when baked.)
  • 4. Bake in preheated oven for 10-14 minutes until cookies are set and lightly golden on bottoms. Remove to a wire rack (with wax paper underneath the rack) to cool completely.
  • 5. To make frosting: in a separate bowl, combine 3/4 c powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and enough milk to get a glaze or drizzling consistency. Divide into 3 smaller bowls and add food coloring to each bowl.
  • 6. To assemble cookie: while the cookie is on the cooling rack, use a 1/4 or 1/8 tsp measuring spoon to scoop a small amount of blue or green frosting into the center depression of cookie. Add a chocolate chip upside down to the center of blue or green. Drizzle red frosting on edges of cookie with a spoon to resemble bloodshot eyes. Serve.

I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but these cookies were too cute to resist.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still really cute.

I had a hard time finding the candy eyeballs, but I finally found them at a local grocery store.
