Ingredients
For the Cookie Base
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour For a healthier version, consider using whole wheat flour.
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar Can be replaced with coconut sugar for natural sweetening.
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
For Decorating
- Red and blue icing
- Black icing for Spider-Man's web
- Optional: Edible glitter or sprinkles For extra fun.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Baking
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flattening them slightly.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Decorating
- Once cooled, decorate with red and blue icing for Spider-Man's face and use black icing for the webs.
Notes
For a professional finish, use a pastry bag for icing. Chill the dough for 30 minutes if too sticky. Don’t overbake for a soft center.
