What will start as a chocolate cookie recipe will end in one spooky cookie!
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 3 teaspoons Natural Magic
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable shortening
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg white
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, Natural Magic, and salt, stir in well with a whisk. Place shortening in a large mixing bowl; beat with a heavy-duty mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until well blended. Add vanilla and egg white; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat until well blended.
- Turn dogh out onto wax paper; shape into a 6-inch log. Wrap log in wax paper. Freeze 2 hours or until very firm.
- Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350º for 10 minutes or until set. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
- Combine powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk until smooth. Spoon into a small zip-top plastic bag; seal. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag. Working with 1 cookie at a time, pipe 3 concentric circles onto each cookie. Starting at center circle, pull a wooden pick through other circles at regular intervals to create a “web.”
