My very first Halloween being married I made these yummy waffle cookies; they just reminded me of Halloween. Ever since, I have been making these cookies every year and after I make them I think to myself, “I need to make these more than once a year, they’re too good!” (and cute!) So I gave them a new name and now call them Spiderweb Chocolate Waffle Cookies!
Spiderweb Chocolate Waffle Cookies
{ with vanilla glaze }
Cookie Ingredients:
1 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
12 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients together, spray waffle iron with Pam. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of dough on each square in the waffle iron. Cook for 60 seconds, medium heat until cooked through. Cookies will be fragile when removing from the waffle iron so carefully take them out with a fork. Overcooking can cause cookies to be hard. Makes about 3 doz.
Vanilla Glaze Ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix ingredients together until smooth. Dip top of cookies in glaze and let set. If making these for Halloween, set a spider ring on the top of the cookies while glaze is still wet. Store in air tight container to keep soft.
I cut the ring part of my spiders off because I wanted them to lay flat. If I was making these for a treat for the classroom or something, I would have left the ring on to make it fun for the kids to keep!
Charli helped me put all of the spiders on and she thought it was so much fun!
