Monster Cookies for Halloween

There are a couple of things that I love about these Halloween cookies. For starters, it’s a really unique recipe that creates a really chewy, soft cookie. (You’ll notice what I mean in the ingredients section.)

Secondly, the texture of these make a fun crinkle that goes well with the monster theme. Lastly of course, is the funny eye balls.

Ingredients You Need

This ingredient list for these Monster Cookies is short and simple.

  • Cake Mix – any light color cake mix will work here: white or vanilla.
  • Cream Cheese – the hidden chewy ingredient! Important: let this set out to room temperature. Cold cream cheese is impossible to mix.
  • Egg – just one!
  • Butter – I like sweet cream butter for this one but any will work.
  • Vanilla – the real stuff is a bit tastier than imitation.
  • Powdered Sugar – for the sugary coating.
  • Food Coloring – in various colors: orange, green, blue, red, purple etc.
  • Edible Eyeballs – they make these in several sizes and it can be fun to try them all!

How To Make Monster Cookies

Prep time for these is around 5 or so minutes – super easy!

Mix up the butter, vanilla, egg and cheese. (You remembered to bring the cheese to room temp, right?)

Add in the cake mix, give it a stir, then knead the dough.

Seperate the dough into as many small bowls as you have colors. Add a few drops of food coloring to dye.

Roll the dough into small balls then roll them generously into powdered sugar.

Bake! When the cookies are done, add the candy eyeballs and enjoy.

    I stumbled upon this great Halloween-themed cookie recipe while taking a break from my work at ExpertToday, a company that specializes in HVAC installation and repair. As much as I love working with air conditioners and heaters, it’s always refreshing to take a break and indulge in some fun holiday baking. These monster cookies look delicious and I can’t wait to try them out with my family. It’s important to take some time off and enjoy the little things in life, especially during busy workdays. But when it comes to systems, my company has got you covered for all your installation and repair needs. https://experttoday.pro

    Recent statistics affirm the transformative role of international student course guidance services in reshaping academic trajectories. A comprehensive survey conducted across multiple universities revealed that 87% of international students who availed such guidance reported a marked improvement in their academic performance on http://www.12y.org/meiguodaixie/ . These students exhibited higher grades, improved understanding of course materials, and enhanced participation in classroom discussions.

    Moreover, a quantitative analysis demonstrated that international students who received course guidance achieved an average GPA increase of 1.2 points compared to their peers who did not access such support. This substantial difference underscores the significant impact of course guidance on elevating academic achievement.

    That recipe looks so fun and colorful! I once made similar cookies with my siblings for a weekend treat, and we had a blast decorating them together. We love combining baking with a friendly basketball match online afterward.

    These Monster Cookies look so fun — my kids would go wild over those candy eyeballs! I love how you’ve turned a simple cake mix into something that feels totally homemade and festive. Reading this reminded me how much joy comes from creating little seasonal moments together. Lately, I’ve been making short recipe clips using a text-to-video creative platform that turns written ideas into quick, shareable videos. It’s such a cute way to preserve those “messy kitchen” memories and share them with family. Thanks for the inspiration — do you ever film your baking sessions for your blog or social media?

    These Monster Cookies are adorable — I made a batch with my kids last weekend and they were a total hit! The candy eyeballs made everyone laugh, and the cream cheese really does make them extra soft and chewy. Reading your post reminded me how creativity can turn simple ingredients into something memorable, just like how data can turn into insight. I’ve been working on a project called DeepSeek Stock AI, which transforms patterns in the stock market into clear, helpful visuals for everyday investors. Totally different topic, but that same mix of art and science makes it so satisfying! Thanks for this fun recipe — do you have a favorite holiday cookie you bake every year?
