Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Ziplock bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons butter melted and cooled until warm
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl mix together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl beat the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until well blended.
  • Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in ¾ cup chocolate chips. The dough will be soft.
  • Scoop dough into balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and place 3-4 chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie, point side up.
  • Add remaining chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave, on low power, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
  • Spoon the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag. Use scissors to cut the smallest slit from one of the corners (you want the hole to be very small to make your spider legs).
  • Squeeze the melted chocolate through the small hole, next to the chocolate chips on top of the cookie, to make 8 spider legs.
