150 g granulated sugar

1 large egg
09 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
04 -
Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully blended.
05 -
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
06 -
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Arrange them 5 cm apart on the prepared baking sheets.
07 -
Flatten each dough ball slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
08 -
Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 -
While cookies cool, melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second bursts, stirring between each heating, until smooth.
10 -
Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or small zip-top bag with a snipped corner. Pipe three concentric circles on each cookie, then use a toothpick to drag lines from the center outward, creating a spiderweb pattern. Repeat for all cookies and allow chocolate to set before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To enhance presentation, add a chocolate candy or decorative sugar spider to the center of each cookie.
02 -
For a deeper chocolate taste, substitute with dark chocolate chips.
03 -
Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
