Chocolate Spider Cookies
Fudgy chocolate cookies decorated with simple chocolate spider bodies and candy eyes.
Equipment
1 Mixing bowl and standard kitchen equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or Sunrise flour if preferred
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 18 chocolate truffles or round chocolate candies
- 36 candy eyes
- ¼ cup melted chocolate for spider legs
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, then mix into the butter mixture.
- Scoop tablespoon-size balls of dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. While warm, press one round chocolate candy into the center of each cookie.
- When cool, use melted chocolate to pipe four little legs on each side of the candy and attach two candy eyes.
Notes
Let the cookies cool before piping the legs so the chocolate decorations stay neat.
