The Cookies are Watching You, from familycookierecipes.com:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3.4 oz box vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 10 oz Mini M&M’s
- 1 cup Halloween M&M’s
- Candy Eye Balls optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer, cream your butter and shortening for about 2 minutes, until pale.
- Add sugars and mix until well combined.
- Add your eggs, vanilla, milk & mix.
- Whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt.
- Pour into butter mixture and mix until flour is completely incorporated.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough level using a medium cookie scoop. Press the ball of dough into the bowl of mini M&M’s, so that candies coat the top part of the cookie dough ball. Place several regular sized M&M’s onto the top of each cookie. It will look very full, but remember, the cookie will spread in the oven.
- Place balls about 1.5-2″ inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes until cookies just barely begin to lightly brown on the sides. Let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
- After cookies come out of the oven, place candy eye balls on top of each cookie, between M&M’s! So fun!

Jack O’Lantern Cheese Quesadillas, onelittleproject.com
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas
- shredded marble cheese or cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Stack 2 flour tortillas on top of each other. Use a kitchen knife to cut out a pumpkin “stem” from them.

- Set the tortilla without a face on a baking sheet. Cover it with cheese.
- Add the other flour tortilla on top of the cheese, making sure the stems line up.
- Bake in the oven at 400F for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges start to turn golden.
- Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Eye Ball Caprese Bites, www.eatsamazing.co.uk
Ingredients
- mini mozzarella balls
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes
- basil leaves
Instructions
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, so you end up with the same number of halves as the mozzarella balls.
- Wash the melon baller, then use it to scoop the flesh from each cherry tomato half.
- Place a ball of mozarella in each cherry tomato half.
- Using a single hole punch, punch small circles from the basil for the eyeball ‘pupils’. If you don’t have a hole punch, you could also cut them out by hand with a small pair of clean scissors.
- Place a circle of basil on the top of each ‘eyeball’. Pop a cocktail stick into each eyeball, or skewer them in pairs.
- Serve immediately, or cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
