Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Decoration:
- Melted dark chocolate or black icing for web details
- Sprinkles or edible glitter for a spooky effect
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll and Stamp: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and gently press down with a spider web cookie stamp (or any Halloween-themed stamp).
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool & Decorate: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. If desired, enhance the spider web design with melted chocolate or icing.
Serve & Enjoy! Perfect for Halloween parties or a spooky snack with milk or hot cocoa.
