Getting tangled up in Halloween treats. 🕸️🍪
These Spiderweb Chocolate Cookies are rich, chocolatey and almost too cute to eat. Almost.
Ingredients:
1 cup salted butter, browned
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup 100% cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
Marshmallows
Black gel food coloring, as needed
Directions:
1. Brown the butter until deeply golden and fragrant. While the butter is still very warm (almost hot, but not boiling), pour it directly over the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined, then let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs.
2. Add the eggs, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until smooth.
3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Add black gel food coloring after the flour and cocoa have been incorporated, mixing until the dough reaches your desired black color.
5. Let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes so the cocoa can absorb some of the excess moisture. The dough will become less sticky and easier to work with as it sits.
6. Bake at 350°F for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before decorating
7. Melt the marshmallows until soft and stretchy. Allow them to cool slightly, then stretch small amounts between your fingers over the cooled cookies to create spiderwebs.
Makes approximately 12 cookies.
