Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie and add about 1 teaspoon of chocolate paste.
Use additional cookie dough to cover the chocolate paste slightly, then shape the cookies into monster-like forms. Add candy eyes to the tops of the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look a bit soft but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your spooky monster cookies!
