Description

Delightful chocolate cookies adorned with a drizzle resembling spider legs, bringing joy and nostalgia in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  7. Drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are firm but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle with melted chocolate for decoration.

Notes

Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake to avoid overbaking. Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture.
