Supplies and Equipment Needed:
- Large mixing bowl

- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cooling rack
- Greased cookie sheet
- Plastic wrap
- Refrigerator
- Oven
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- Neon green, orange, and purple food coloring
- Halloween sprinkles
Directions:
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated into the mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are just combined. The dough may appear crumbly at this stage.
Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Stir in the white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Divide the Dough: Divide the cookie dough into three equal portions.
Color the Dough: Add neon green food coloring to one portion, orange to another, and purple to the last portion. Mix each portion until the color is uniform.
Create Multicolored Balls: Take a bit of each of the three different colored doughs and roll them together to form a ball. The colors should swirl together, creating a vibrant effect. Repeat this process until you have formed 6 cookies.
Decorate with Sprinkles: Roll the top and sides of each cookie in Halloween sprinkles, ensuring they are generously coated.
Chill the Cookies: Place the cookies on a greased cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
Preheat the Oven: Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Bake the Cookies: Once chilled, bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Add More Sprinkles: When the cookies come out of the oven, if there are any spots that look bare, you can add some extra Halloween sprinkles to the hot cookies for an extra festive touch.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed!

With their vibrant colors and festive sprinkles, they’ll be the highlight of your dessert table. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or simply enjoying some spooky family fun, these cookies are a must-try for the season.
