Spun S'mores Cookies

Delicious chocolate chip cookies topped with melted marshmallow and a chocolate royal icing 3D spider. Halloween chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Servings 24 COOKIES

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 10-15 jumbo marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare 2 aluminum baking sheets lined with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients while mixing on low, adding a little at a time, until all the ingredients are combined into a dough; do not overmix.
  • Add the chocolate chips and dark chocolate pieces to the dough and disperse evenly with your hands or a wooden spatula.
  • Pinch off large golf ball-sized pieces of dough and roll them between your hands before arranging them on the cookie sheets. Evenly space the cookies, 5-6 per sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges just start to brown.
  • Let cool before transferring to a cookie rack. Repeat for the rest of the cookie dough. Let the cookie sheets cool completely before reloading.
  • Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can add the marshmallow spiderwebs. Microwave a handful of marshmallows for about 15-20 seconds or until inflated and very warm. Pinch off some of the melty marshmallow with your hands and pull apart with your fingers until a stringy web forms. Lay over a cookie and pinch off at the sides. I use a second person's help with this part to hold the cookie higher than the work surface so that I'm not pinching off the sticky marshmallow over the tabletop.
