Spider Web Cookies!!!

The cookie itself is chocolate and the dough was really easy to work with unlike the rainbow cookies.

 

We iced the cookies with royal icing. The way we created the design was by icing the cookie white, then piping on a spiral and dragging it out with a toothpick to create the spider web effect. Our icing was too thick at the beginning so it was really hard to ice the cookie and have it completely smooth at the top. It was also hard to blend the black into the white when the icing was too thick so we added a spoonful of water to each bowl of icing each time.

I love how the toothpicks created such fine lines with the icing! I had one problem with this design: I iced all of the cookies with the white base icing first so when I piped on the black spiral and tried dragging out the black with the toothpick, it cut through the icing instead of blending.

Here's a cookie I made with a little spider :) I thought that the taste of the cookie was a little bitter and weirdly sweet, maybe it was the cocoa powder? In conclusion, I adore how these cookies turned out appearance wise but I'm not a fan of the taste.
