Please enjoy these easy dark chocolate Halloween cookies with Reese’s pieces candy! They’re the perfect addition to your SPOOKY holiday!
Happy Halloween!
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. From the spooky stories all over the internet, to the colors and the candy and the air turning colder. It’s been my favorite since I was little, and I tend to spend the Halloween Holiday watching all my favorite seasonal movies, like Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, and this year, the second season of Stranger Things. Another one of my favorite things to do is DRESS UP. I was Stevie Nicks this year, and I lost the costume contest by ONE POINT.
I know that’s really not why you’re here – but I had to indulge myself on my very favorite holiday. But you’re here for the cookies. And they’re coming, I promise. But, I wanted to let you guys know that the FIRST episode of OKC OVER EASY on the SPY fm podcast network is up RIGHT NOW! It’s a halloween special, and I interview my friend Kelly about her bitchin Halloween party, we talk trash halloween candy, and Kelly tells a really spooky story that she had repressed in the back of her mind.
Now these cookies – they are so good. They use 3 different types of chocolate chips, Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa, which I didn’t even know was a thing until this recipe. They make the cookies extra dark and spooky – which is my favorite kind. The peanut butter adds a great flavor, and they only lasted a few days in my house.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixer, take room temp butter and cream it with your sugars.
- Add one egg at a time, waiting until they are fully incorporated, then add the vanilla.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder together and slowly add to the mixer (if you do this fast there will be cocoa powder EVERYWHERE. Please take my advice)
- Mix in the Reeses and chocolate chips with the cookie dough.
- Place in the fridge for 15 mins.
- Take your cookie sheets and line them with parchment paper, and when the dough has cooled, roll them into balls and place on the cookie sheets.
- Bake for 9 mins, making sure not to overbake. When they come out of the oven, place more Reeses on the tops of the cookies, and some extra salt if you're feeling fancy.
- Let cool -- enjoy
