These Ghost Chocolate Chip Cookies combine classic chewy chocolate chip cookies with a spooky twist perfect for Halloween or themed parties. Soft, buttery cookies are topped with marshmallows dipped in smooth white chocolate and decorated with dark chocolate to create delightful ghost faces.

Ingredients

Cookie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Topping

  • 15 Jumbo Marshmallows
  • 1 cup white chocolate melting chips, melted
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate melting chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients and gently fold until the dough is just incorporated without overmixing.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Pour in the chocolate chips and fold them evenly into the cookie dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, which helps maintain shape during baking.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form 2-inch round balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake for 13 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the centers remain slightly underbaked for chewiness.
  9. Cool Slightly: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet so they finish setting without becoming dry.
  10. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and melted.
  11. Apply White Chocolate: Spoon a dollop of melted white chocolate onto the center of each cookie, letting it drip to form a wavy ghost-like shape.
  12. Coat Marshmallows: Completely dip each jumbo marshmallow into the white chocolate, coating it fully, then position it on top of the white chocolate dollop on each cookie.
  13. Set White Chocolate: Allow the white chocolate on the cookies and marshmallows to harden and set firmly.
  14. Melt Dark Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  15. Pipe Details: Transfer melted dark chocolate to a piping bag with a small snipped tip and pipe two black eyes and a ghost-like “O” shaped mouth onto each marshmallow to create expressive ghost faces.
  16. Final Setting: Let the decorated cookies stand until the dark chocolate hardens completely.
  17. Serve: Once set, serve these spooky and delightful ghost chocolate chip cookies to enjoy!
