INGREDIENTS
- 1 butter stick, at room temperature
- 3 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoon coconut milk
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ounce dark chocolate, unsweetened
DIRECTIONS
- Mix the butter with the sugar until soft. Moreover, add the vanilla extract and mix again. Add half of the flour quantity and use a spatula to incorporate into the butter mixture.
- Add the milk, and remaining flour, and mix until you get a dough. You can also form the cookie dough with your hands.
- Moreover, line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Take 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball and place on the tray. Flatten with the back of your hand or the spatula.
- Put the halloween cookies into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave them in the trays for 5 minutes to set up before placing on a wire rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a small bowl. Additionally, put the bowl on a small saucepan filled with water over medium heat. Stir the chocolate to melt. Set aside to cool and thicken a little bit.
- Transfer the chocolate into a piping bag to decorate the cookies.
- Draw 3 intersecting lines and draw several lines between them to create a spider web. You could also draw the spider’s body and add its feet.
