Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus more for decorating
  • 1 tube black writing icing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to a large bowl and beat well with a mixer until well combined.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla until just combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until combined.
  5. Stir the chocolate chips in by hand.
  6. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 12 balls of dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Stick a couple of chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie upside down. 
  8. Bake for 9 minutes exactly. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but will set up as they cool.
  9. Once cookies are cool, use the icing to pipe legs around the chocolate chips. 
  10. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use any variety of chocolate chip you prefer - darker chocolate will match the spider legs best, but we use milk chocolate because that's what my kids prefer.
