Spooky Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies
Spooky Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 5 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Imperial brand light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coffee flavored extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 10 ounces mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1/4 cup Halloween or autumn cookie sprinkles
- 5 dozen (Wilton) black or orange candy melt wafers
- Cookie Icing (Wilton) in black, orange, and/or red
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cream together the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, shortening and butter until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add extracts, baking soda, and salt, mixing thoroughly.
- Add flour gradually until it is all incorporated.
- Fold the mini morsels and Halloween sprinkles into the dough.
- Using a one-tablespoon sized cookie scoop, place dough balls onto a silpat lined cookie sheet.
- Press a candy melting wafer onto dough balls, pressing down firmly.
- Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool on pan five minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough until it is used up.
- After the cookies cool, use heated cookie icing to draw legs on the spiders.
- Dot eyes onto spiders using icing as well; I found ponding a small amount on paper and using a toothpick or wooden skewer to apply the dots worked better than trying to dot it on directly from the bottle.
- Allow cookies to dry and set up for 30-45 minutes.
