These darling cookies are the perfect spooky treats for friends like Inid and Wednesday!
I can’t really think of a more unique and awesome friendship than Inid and Wednesday in the darling television spooky series. The closest friendship that ranks right up there is Elpheba and Glinda from Wicked. There is something magical when darkness and light come together to create a story.
Ingredients
- 12 T unsalted butter, softened (divided in ½ c and ¼ c)
- 1 c sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 t vanilla
- 3 c flour
- ½ c cocoa powder
- Pink, yellow and blue food coloring
- ½ c semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, for melting
Parchment Paper – This is the BEST way to line baking pans and dishes. It is great for pouring melted candy too.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a couple baking sheets with parchment, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened ½ c worth of butter and sugar. Cream until light in color and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and egg. Mix well.
Add in the flour and change the whisk attachment on the mixer to the paddle attachment. Mix until the dough is cohesive and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Divide the dough in half. Combine one half of the cookie in the bowl of the stand mixer and add in the cocoa powder and remaining ¼ c softened butter. Mix with the paddle attachment until smooth. Set aside.
With the remaining cookie dough, divide the dough into three equal sections. Squeeze just a couple drops of each color of food coloring (yellow, pink and blue). Gently combine the food coloring and knead just until the dough is streaked with color. We do not want to mix in the color completely as the idea is to make it look like stained glass.
Once each ball of dough has color throughout, roll into logs. Place the logs side by side and press together – reshaping the logs if needed to equal out the lengths, width. Form the chocolate half into a log and press together with the colored logs. The idea is that the chocolate half is Wednesday’s side and the colored side is Enid – try to make them equal in size.
Using a sharp knife, cut off about ¼ inch slices from the cookie dough log. Reshape the dough into more of a circle shape if needed and place on the baking sheet. Leave a little room around each cookie, but they should not spread much. Continue with the remaining dough. Bake in the preheated oven for no more than 12 minutes. Do not overbake – it will dry out the cookies. Cookies are done when the edges are set and the edges and bottom are just slightly starting to brown. Allow to cool completely.
Once cookies have cooled, transfer the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds and stir thoroughly. Heat for another 30 seconds and stir again. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag.
Cut a small hole in the end of the piping bag. Pipe a large circle around the edge of each cookie. Then divide the cookie in half and pipe a line of chocolate between the chocolate side and the colored side. Pipe two more lines equally spaced to create 6 pie slices. Then pipe rounded pieces to connect each line in the form of a spider web.
Allow the chocolate to cool and set. Once the chocolate has set, they are ready to eat!
FAQs:
We used dark cocoa powder for these cookies – regular would also work, they just would just be a lighter brown. You could also find black cocoa online and use that as well if you’d like it to be darker.
