½ tsp table salt.

½ tsp baking soda.
07 -
1 cup softened unsalted butter.
08 -
1 cup granulated white sugar.
09 -
3½ cups plain all-purpose flour.
10 -
1 tsp vanilla extract or essence.

2 big eggs.

½ tsp cinnamon powder.

1 tsp baking powder.

# Instructions:
01 -
In a different bowl, blend all-purpose flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add this mix to the butter and sugar mixture while stirring until just blended.
02 -
One at a time, crack in the eggs, stirring each one until it’s no longer streaky, then pour in the vanilla and mix.
03 -
Use a big mixing bowl to mash together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s fluffy and smooth.
04 -
Transfer the stuffed cookies onto the baking trays you lined earlier.
05 -
Pop the cookies into the oven for about 10-12 minutes. When the edges are slightly golden, let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
06 -
Scoop out a chunk of dough, flatten it to make a disc shape, and drop a bit of the melted chocolate in the center. Top it with another disc, pinching the sides to seal in the filling. Roll it gently into a ball.
07 -
Draw jack-o-lantern faces on the cookies with orange icing for the base and black for the details after the cookies are cool.
08 -
Grab some milk and enjoy these treats, or share them at a fun Halloween party!
09 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get your baking trays ready with parchment paper.
10 -
Heat up 1 cup of milk chocolate chips in the microwave. Stir it every 20 seconds so it doesn’t burn, and stop once it’s smooth.
