Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a thumbprint.
Immediately fill the thumbprints with your choice of candy melts.
Place candy eyes on top of the melted candy.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
