SPIDER COOKIES

Happy Halloween, you guys! Why should only you dress up scary for halloween? This is the time we channel our creative sides into our work and dress up our desserts and make them spooky! For this recipe, I’ve taken a classic oatmeal cookie and turned the spook on by turning it into a spider cookie! I had the Lindt lindor at hand so I though of using it.  You guys should also look around, inspiration is everywhere!

How to make the cookie dough

This cookie dough is pretty straightforward to make. You begin by creaming together the butter and sugars. Like most of my cookie recipes, I use a combination of caster sugar and light brown sugar. I love the malty flavour the brown sugar gives the cookie. Once the butter and sugars are pale and fluffy, add in the egg. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients and your dough is ready! I have a post on Baking your cookies right, so do give it a read!

Assembling the spider cookies

Make sure your cookies have completely cooled down before you start assembling the spider cookies. You don’t want your lindor to melt because of the heat of the cookie! I took melted white chocolate and melted dark chocolate in two separate piping bags. With the white chocolate, I made two circles onto the lindor that I want to make into eyes. I used the dark chocolate to add details. I also made the legs of the spider onto the cookie with melted dark chocolate. Basically, you can use melted chocolate to transform your basic dessert into something creative and spooky, so go rogue!
