Slime-Filled Halloween Cookies Recipe:

Follow these steps to create a batch of spooky cookies that are ideal for any Halloween celebration.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Slime Filling:

  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • Green food coloring

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Shape Dough: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use the back of a small spoon or your thumb to create a well in the center of each ball for the filling.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and reinforce the wells if necessary by gently pressing them down with the spoon again. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
  7. Prepare Slime Filling: In a small bowl, combine the corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach your desired shade of slime green.
  8. Fill Cookies: Once the cookies are cool, spoon a small amount of the green slime mixture into the well of each cookie.
  9. Set and Serve: Allow the slime filling to set slightly before serving for a less sticky texture.
