Add a seriously spooky twist to a dessert favorite with a quick and easy recipe for Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Chocolate candy melts (See Kelly's Notes)
Candy eyes

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set the mixture aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition then add the flour mixture and beat just until combined.
  • Add the chocolate chips and beat until incorporated then cover and refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours and up to overnight. (See Kelly's Notes.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats.
  • Using two spoons or an ice cream scoop, portion out about 2 tablespoons of the dough into mounds, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart. Add 2 or 3 additional chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies. (These will be the spider "bodies.")
  • Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes or until they are set around the edges but still slightly underbaked in the centers. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate candy melts per the package instructions then transfer the chocolate to a piping bag or sealable plastic bag. Snip off the tip then pipe spider "legs" coming out of the chocolate chips on the tops of the cookies. Attach the spider "eyes" by adding two dots of chocolate above the chocolate chips then attaching the candy eyes. Let the chocolate set then serve.

HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH SPIDERS



Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies with Spiders image

I love chocolate chip cookies, so when I was baking for Halloween I turned the chocolate chips into little spiders. I only drew 3 legs on each side, there wasn't room for 4, so my spiders were little 6-legged creatures.

HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

These cookies are monster sized and monster themed, making them perfect treats for your Halloween party. They bake up crispy on the edges and chewy inside. Feel free to vary the sprinkles and add some non pareils to the mix. Candy eyeballs come in various sizes so play around to see which combo you like best - we happen to think one medium and one large makes the monster look delightfully deranged.

Time 1h30m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup mixed green, purple and orange candy-coated chocolates, such as M&Ms
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mixed green, purple, orange and black Halloween sprinkles and nonpareils
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
48 candy eyeballs

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top and bottom and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well to combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed to combine, scraping the bowl down once to make sure it is mixed well, about 1 minute. Add the oats, candy-coated chocolates, chocolate chips, half of the sprinkles and the pecans if using. Mix on low speed just to combine, about 30 seconds.
  • Spread the remaining 1/2 cup sprinkles in a small bowl. Using a 1/4-cup (2-ounce) ice cream scoop or dry measuring cup, scoop a scant 1/4 cup of dough, roll into a ball and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand. Press the top of the ball in the sprinkles. Place 6 balls of dough on each baking sheet. Arrange 2 eyeballs on each dough ball. (Refrigerate the remaining dough while you bake this batch.)
  • Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the edges are crisp and golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the pans to wire racks to cool slightly, then transfer the cookies to the racks to cool completely. Allow the baking sheets to cool and then repeat with the remaining dough.
