I’ve always loved Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday. I love the scary movies, the costumes, the candy… and the cobweb cookies. Every year, my mom would make a batch of these cookies and we would decorate them together. I would always eat at least three (I was a growing boy!) and she would always scold me for getting frosting all over my face. These days, I’ve taken over the tradition of making cobweb cookies and I’ve even added my own twist to them. I’ve swapped out the traditional frosting for a rich, chocolate ganache. It’s the perfect addition to these already delicious cookies. If you’re looking for a festive and delicious treat to make this Halloween, look no further than these cobweb cookies!
3/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring
2 eggs
Confectioners Sugar
Mix all ingredients (except confectioners sugar) on medium speed until smooth, or mix with spoon by hand. Pour mixture into plastic squeeze bottle with slight opening. Heat a 10 inch skillet over medium high heat until hot. Lightly grease with oil. Working quickly, squeeze dough to form 4 thin and straight lines while intersecting in the middle to form the shape of a star. To make cobweb, squeeze thin lines of batter to connect lines. Cook until bottom is golden brown, about 30 – 60 seconds. Carefully turn over and cook until golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
