Get ready to delight both kids and adults with these cute and delicious caterpillar cookies! These soft and chewy cookies are studded with chocolate chips and can be customized with your favorite nuts. The adorable caterpillar decorations make them perfect for themed parties or just a fun baking activity.
Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup brown sugar, packed. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 3 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 cups chocolate chips. 1 cup chopped nuts optional. Green food coloring. Black licorice laces. Candy eyes.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough and mix until evenly colored. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Once the cookies are cooled, use black licorice laces to create the caterpillar legs and candy eyes to make the face on each cookie. Enjoy your adorable caterpillar cookies!
