Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ tsp Natural Orange Food Color – Water Soluble Extract

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or dark chocolate for a spooky look)

  • Optional: Halloween sprinkles or candy eyes for decoration

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and Natural Orange Food Color – Water Soluble Extract until the mixture turns a vibrant orange hue.

  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

  4. Fold in white or dark chocolate chips for contrast. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up.

  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart.

  7. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.

  8. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

  9. Decorate with melted chocolate drizzle or candy eyes for a fun Halloween finish.
