## Chocolate Spiderweb Snaps
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside.
3. In a separate larger bowl using a mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth chocolate cookie dough forms.
6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies have cooled, melt the milk chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
10. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the top of each cookie to create a web-like pattern. Start from the center and work your way outwards, creating concentric circles.
11. Next, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using the same method as before. Transfer the melted white chocolate into a small piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner snipped off.
12. Pipe concentric circles of white chocolate on top of the milk chocolate drizzles, creating the spiderweb design on each cookie.
13. Allow the chocolate to set before serving the cookies to your eagerly awaiting guests. Enjoy these deliciously spooky Chocolate Spiderweb Snaps!
