Wednesday & Enid Cookies
20 cookies
Make cookies that are perfect for Halloween and inspired by the Wednesday series on Netflix! These cookies have two different sides: one is bright and colorful like Enid, and the other is dark and chocolatey like Wednesday. And guess what? You can even draw a spider web on top using melted chocolate!
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened, divided into ½ cup and ¼ cup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- Food coloring pink, yellow, and blue
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C), and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer bowl, add ½ cup of the softened unsalted butter and the sugar.
- Cream the mixture until light in color and fluffy using the whisk attachment.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until well combined.
- Replace the whisk attachment with the paddle attachment.
- Add the flour to the mixture and mix until the dough is cohesive and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Create Wednesday's Side
- Divide the dough into two equal portions.
- To one half, add the cocoa powder and the remaining ¼ cup of softened butter.
- Mix using the paddle attachment until smooth. Set aside.
Create Enid's Side
- Take the remaining half of the dough and divide it into three equal portions.
- Add a few drops of pink, yellow, and blue food coloring to each portion.
- Gently knead the colors into the dough, aiming for a streaked, stained-glass appearance. Do not fully incorporate the colors.
Assemble the Cookies
- Roll each colored portion into a log and line them up side by side.
- Shape the chocolate dough into a similar-sized log and press it next to the colored logs.
- Using a sharp knife, slice 1/4-inch rounds from the cookie dough log.
- Reshape each round into a more circular shape, if needed, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly browned.
- Allow cookies to cool completely.
Decorate with Spider Web
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir well.
- Heat for another 30 seconds and stir again until fully melted.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a small tip or cut a small hole at the end.
- Pipe a circle of chocolate around the edge of each cookie. Divide the cookie in half with a line of chocolate, separating the two sides. Add two more lines to divide the cookie into six sections.
- Complete the spider web design by connecting the lines with curved lines. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- Dough Consistency: Make sure the butter is soft but not melted for the dough. Your dough should come together well and pull away from the side of the mixing bowl.
- Coloring: When adding food coloring to the Enid dough, don't overmix. You're aiming for a stained-glass look.
- Slicing: Use a sharp knife to get clean cuts when slicing your cookie dough log. Reshape into circles if needed before baking.
- Baking: Keep an eye on the cookies in the oven. They are done when the edges are set and have a slightly browned bottom. Don't overbake, or your cookies will be dry.
- Chocolate Piping: Let cookies cool completely before piping on the chocolate spider web. Ensure the melted chocolate is smooth for easy piping.
- Setting Time: Allow the chocolate to cool and set before serving or storing.
- Storage: Cookies are good for 3 days in an airtight container or can be frozen for 3 months.
