These festive cookies are perfect for Halloween! They're classic chocolate chip cookies with a spooky twist, featuring 'spider' decorations made from chocolate chips and melted chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs large
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips plus extra for spider legs
- 1 cup melted chocolate for spider legs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until fluffy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this into the creamed mixture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are nicely browned.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, use a small amount of melted chocolate to create spider legs coming out from the chocolate chips on the cookies.
