Halloween Spider Web Lemon Cookies

For Halloween, there’s nothing like some spooky cookies 😀 This is a simple recipe for butter cookies with a lemon glaze and dark chocolate, they turned out fantastically sweet with a hint of lemon, i know i made them more halloween themed, but these are good any day of the year ;D

This recipe is for 12 super spooky cookies uhhhhh uhhhhh ;P Of course you can double the recipe if you want to make more, note that the icing makes double the amount, but it’s difficult to make a decent icing with just 100g of sugar and a spoonful of lemon juice… it’s better to make a bit more it mixes better, but if you want to double the recipe, you don’t need to double the lemon glaze! ;D

Besides that these cookies are surprisingly easy to make, be sure to chill the dough before molding and baking to help the cookies hold their shape, and well don’t be afraid to get creative with the spiderweb design – the more unique, the better! Lets check the recipe!

Oh the bright side, the citrusy flavor of the lemon cookies provides a delightful contrast to the rich, creamy dark chocolate spiderweb design that also adds a whimsical Halloween-inspired touch.

Ingredients

Butter – 100gr
Sugar – 50gr
Flour – 100gr
Almond Flour – 25gr (or Ground)
Powdered Sugar – 150gr
Lemon – 1/2 (Juice)
Cooking Chocolate – 40gr (You use Dark Chocolate)

Directions

Start by whisking the butter at room temperature with the sugar until creamy.

Mix in the flour and ground almonds until you have a dough (leave it chill on the fridge).
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and prepare a baking tray lined with non-stick paper.

Scoop out balls of dough, flatten and place on the tray, take it to the oven and bake for about 16 minutes until golden brown, remove from the oven and leave to cool.

Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and mix well until the mixture is thick and creamy.

Once the cookies are cool, dip the top of each cookie into the icing.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave until creamy and smooth (or use a double boiler), put it in a chocolate bag or tube and make several small chocolate circles on the top of each cookie.
Finally, using a toothpick spread the chocolate from the center outwards to make webs and that’s it, let the icing and chocolate harden and they’re ready to serve, Happy Halloween! ;D

Notes: You can use the black decorating icing to add details to the spiderwebs, such as spiders or other Halloween-themed decorations. For an extra festive flair, consider using cookie cutters in spooky shapes or adding a sprinkle of edible glitter to your spiderwebs. If you don’t like lemon (although it works great here), you can change for white chocolate for a chocolate covered cookies ;D
