In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

These cookies are great on their own or served with a tall glass of milk. You can also place them on a spooky Halloween-themed plate to impress your guests. For a festive touch, add more sprinkles on top just before they cool down.

Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them fresh, you can place a slice of bread in the container with them. The bread will help retain moisture and prevent the cookies from getting hard.

Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate chips and Oreos based on your preference.

Variation
