Creepy little spider cookies that are ready in just about 30 minutes!
Servings 12 cookies
Calories 244kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus more for decorating
- 1 tube black writing icing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to a large bowl and beat well with a mixer until well combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until just combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until combined.
- Stir the chocolate chips in by hand.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 12 balls of dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Stick a couple of chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie upside down.
- Bake for 9 minutes exactly. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but will set up as they cool.
- Once cookies are cool, use the icing to pipe legs around the chocolate chips.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Use any variety of chocolate chip you prefer - darker chocolate will match the spider legs best, but we use milk chocolate because that's what my kids prefer.
