Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies with Spiders Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine flour baking soda salt and baking powder in a large bowl and stir with a fork to mix ingredients well.

Combine butter white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add in flour mixture 1 cup at a time and mix in with a spatula until well incorporated. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips until well combined.

Drop cookies onto ungreased baking sheets. Pour 1/2 cup chocolate chips into a bowl. Push about 3 to 4 chocolate chips onto each cookie tip-side down to make the spider bodies.

Bake in the the preheated oven until edges are golden 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack.

Melt remaining 1/2 cup chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals stirring after each melting 1 to 3 minutes. Spoon melted chocolate into a piping bag with a small tip and draw little legs on each side of the spider bodies to create spider legs.
