Photo and Recipe Credit- Cooking with my kids
INGREDIENTS
100 g (1/2 cup) butter, softened
125 g (2/3 cup) golden caster sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg beaten
150 g (1 1/8 cup) self-raising flour
100 g (1/2 cup) plain chocolate chips
To decorate
Chocolate chips
Black writing icing
Preheat your oven to 375F and line 3 baking trays with baking parchment/paper.
Measure butter and pop it into a large mixing bowl or freestanding mixer. Measure the sugar and add to the mixing bowl.
Mix the butter and sugar together until they are evenly blended.
Add the vanilla extract and egg.
Add the flour.
Finally add the chocolate chips and give it one final mix.
Make the cookies
Spoon large teaspoons of the cookie mixture on to your prepared baking trays. Make sure you leave enough room for them to spread.
Bake in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. They’re ready when they are turning golden. I like them a little gooey in the middle still.
Decorate the cookies
Remove the cookies from the oven and carefully place them on to a wire rack. Place a few chocolate chips on them while they are still warm. These will form the spider’s bodies.
Leave them to cool a bit more and then pipe the black icing on to create the legs.
Enjoy! The cookies will keep for a few days in an air tight container.
Aren't these the cutest?
They look great - and would taste good too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm sure they would.
