Description
Fun and festive chocolate cookies decorated with a white chocolate spiderweb design, perfect for Halloween or themed parties.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted (for decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until set but still soft in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Transfer melted white chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe concentric circles on each cookie and use a toothpick to drag lines from the center outward to create a spiderweb pattern.
Notes
- For a Halloween twist, add candy spiders or sprinkles on top of the webs.
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before decorating with white chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
