Ooey Gooey Monster Cookies with Eyes
Delicious & Easy Ooey Gooey Monster Cookies
I saw these super cool ooey-gooey monster cookies over at LilLuna and I just had to make them! My 5 year old helped me and it didn’t take long at all. They came out looking amazing and tasting even better!
Now, obviously, these monster cookies would be perfect to bring to a Halloween party, but you could also bring them to a monster-themed birthday party or a family movie night. Put on some spooky movies or a fun cartoon, like Monsters University (find more movie ideas below), and these cookies will fit right in!
Ingredients
All of the ingredients for these ooey-gooey monster cookies are pretty standard; you might even have them in your kitchen already! The fact that these cookies are made with cake mix makes them really easy to throw together quickly!
The only hard-to-find ingredient in this recipe is the edible candy eyeballs. I found mine at Michaels craft store but you can also find them on Amazon.
Movie Night Ideas
If you give a kid a cookie…. they’ll want a movie to go with it! Here are some fun movie ideas to go along with your monster cookies:
- Monsters University
- Monsters Inc
- Monsters vs Aliens
- Planet 51
- Monster House
- Hotel Transylvania
- ParaNorman
Final Thoughts
These monster eye cookies are definitely one of my favorite Halloween recipes! They’re not too difficult to make, they taste great, and they look amazing. I highly recommend them for parties or movie nights!
