Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or water
- 24 candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie and place on baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the icing by whisking powdered sugar and milk/water until a thick, pipeable consistency is reached.
- Pipe winding horizontal strips of icing across each cookie, leaving a small gap for the eyes.
- Place two candy eyes in the gap of each cookie and let the icing set before serving.
