Makes 25
Ingredients
150g butter
80g brown sugar
80g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
225g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bread soda
pinch salt
25 chocolate Rolo’s
100g dark chocolate
Edible sugar eyes
Method
In a bowl, cream the butter and both sugars.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix.
Finally add the flour, salt and bread soda and mix until a smooth dough is formed.
Wrap in cling and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 170C.
Once the pastry is rested, roll on a floured surface and using a cutter, cut out 25 circles.
Place these on two lined trays and egg wash.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove and allow to cool slightly.
Once cold, stick on a Rolo with some melted chocolate and finish decorating by piping on the legs and adhere the edible eyes onto the Rolo.
TIP: If you cannot buy edible eyes, just use white and dark chocolate instead
Love your recipes & can’t wait to try this one as well.Could you tell me if the brown sugar used in these cookies is the soft brown sugar ? or the Demerara sugar ?
Thanks

Hi Helena, I find soft brown sugar works best but if you don’t have it demerara is completely fine too
Hi Shane, what do you use to pipe on the spider legs please?
Hi Marie, I make a small piping bag with parchment paper
