Honestly, these cookies are less spooky and more just plain hilarious. They crack me up… you could say they tickle my funny bone, just like this locket:

Oh, I just can’t get enough of that punny little locket!

Okay back to business… this recipe is pretty standard. When I look for a cookie recipe, I tend to gravitate towards simple, easy recipes. Recipes that follow a standard cookie formula, but maybe add a little pizzazz at the end. This cookie nails it. You’re looking at a standard chocolate cookie recipe, loaded with Reese’s Pieces and some candy eyes. Those extra ingredients turn this cookie from boring-old, into creepy-cute and delicious.

I’m not going to walk you through the recipe, because 1. This recipe is just too easy, you don’t need me to walk you through it and 2. I’m not sure anyone actually reads this anyway. I’m pretty sure we all just scroll right down to the recipe card.

Here’s a few photos for you to scroll past on your way to the recipe. As you can see: my cookies are adorable, my house is all decorated, my street is looking festive, and my lockets are honing in on the holiday spirit.
