Double Chocolate Cookies for Halloween

This post teaches you how to make Double Chocolate Cookies for Halloween!

Do you guys remember my post on the incredibly soft chocolate chip cookies?

Well, we are back with a new twist to this recipe and boy is it double trouble… and by double trouble I mean, double chocolate cookies trouble.

These cookies have cocoa powder to make them chocolate and are filled with white chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces to fit the Halloween theme. YUM!

Have you picked out your Halloween costume yet?

I plan on dressing up like a cat (same as last year). I don’t think my husband is going to dress up but Rosie is going to be a Redskins cheerleader. Shout out to Auntie Sara, for the outfit. Also, HAIL to the Redskins and their win against the Cowboys yesterday!

Luna is going to be a strawberry (thank you, Lindsey, for the outfit).  

Next year I know Rosie will be picking out her own costume so this is the last year we can pull this off 🙂 

If you haven’t tried the incredibly soft chocolate chip cookies you really should. They are literally my favorite cookie in the whole world. I wanted to add a twist to this recipe by making a Halloween themed cookie.

The only difference in the recipe is I added 1/2c of Hershey’s cocoa powder, a smidge more coconut oil and I added in Reese’s Pieces and replaced the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips.
