# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
02 - Mix in the vanilla and egg and continue mixing until combined.
03 - Add in the flour, salt, and baking soda and mix on low until it starts to combine. Then turn up the speed and mix another 15-30 seconds until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
04 - Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold in sprinkles and chocolate chips.
05 - Place 2 tablespoon balls of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment. They don't need to be spaced apart at this stage.
06 - Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1.5 to 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
07 - When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chilled dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
09 - Once the cookies are done, remove from the oven and immediately place candy eyes onto the cookies while still warm.
10 - Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving plate.
