STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Start by preheating the oven to 350 F and lining baking trays with parchment paper.
Double Chocolate Cookies
In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You want to do this for a good 5 minutes.
Add in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Beat until mixture is well combined.
In a second bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop 3 tbsp sized balls of cookie dough and place on the lined baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies for 11 minutes or until the tops no longer look wet. The cookies will look a little underdone.
Let fully cool on the baking pan before moving and the residual heat will continue to cook the cookies.
Marshmallow Spider Web
Once cookies are fully cooled place them on a sheet of parchment paper.
In a medium bowl add marshmallows. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds and mix until smooth.
Let cool for a few seconds until you can touch it comfortably with your fingers.
Pinch of a piece of melted marshmallow. Using both you thumbs and index fingers, pinch the marshmallow. Pull fingers apart a few times to get a spider web texture.
Gently pull the marshmallow around the cookie, pulling it around the edges so it sticks.
It does get a little messy. Continue doing this with every cookie.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
STORING THE COOKIES
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Since the marshmallow is sticky cover the cookies with a layer of parchment or wax paper when stacking the cookies. The cookies stay good for up to four days if stored properly.
Where can I get black cocoa powder?
I live in Ontario, Canada and I got mine for the Bulk Barn store. I believe it can also be purchased on Amazon.
CAN I MAKE THE COOKIES SMALLER?
Yes you can. For smaller cookies scoop 1.5 tbsp worth of dough. Bake for around 8 minutes or until the tops no longer look wet.
WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?
Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access.
Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.
