We’ve got our eyes on you! If you’re looking for the perfect spooky treat to serve up for Halloween, these hilarious eyeball cookies might be just the ticket!
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla, then stir in salt and flour until well combined.
Scoop into Tablespoon sized balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Make a shallow imprint in each cookie, using your thumb, a small measuring spoon, or the lid of a water bottle, etc.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are set.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
For Icing
While cookies are cooling, combine icing ingredients, and beat until smooth.
For Assembly
Pipe icing into each cookie’s imprint to create an eyeball, pipe gel around each to make them look bloodshot, and top with a chocolate chip, upside-down, to create the eye’s pupil.

Tips
Parchment paper works well, but a silpat mat works well too.
These cookies should hold their shape, but if you find the imprint disappears during baking, re-imprint as soon as you take them out of the oven before they set up.
