Fun Halloween Spider Egg Nest Cookies

These cookies feature a chewy base made with white chocolate, topped with chocolate nests and colorful candy eggs. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields about 24 cookies.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate frosting
1 cup candy eggs (e.g., Cadbury Mini Eggs)
1 cup shredded coconut (optional, for nest effect)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Create the Nests: Once the cookies are cool, use a piping bag or a knife to spread chocolate frosting on top of each cookie. If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut on the frosting to resemble a nest.
Add the Eggs: Place candy eggs on top of the frosting to complete the spider egg nest look. Allow the frosting to set before serving.
