• 1 tiny microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
• Toothpicks (for drawing the spider webs!)

📦 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Sunflower Seed Butter (SunButter) or Tahini (well-stirred)
• 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
• 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Oat Flour (Tip: Blend rolled oats for 10 seconds to make oat flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/3 cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
• 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil or melted butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Melted Dairy-Free White Chocolate Chips or Coconut Yogurt (for drawing white webs)

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Cookie Dough

1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir until smooth.
2. Add 1/2 cup oat flour and stir with a spoon until a soft, pliable cookie dough forms. (If the dough feels too sticky, stir in 1 extra tablespoon of oat flour).

Step 2: Shape the Cookies

1. Roll the dough into 10 equal-sized balls using your hands.
2. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined plate or tray and gently press down with the palm of your hand to flatten them into flat round discs (about 1/2-inch thick).

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Coating

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
2. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each burst, until completely melted and glossy.

Step 4: Create the Spider Web Pattern

1. Spoon a small amount of melted dark chocolate over the top of each cookie disc and smooth it gently with the back of a spoon.
2. Drop 2 or 3 tiny dots (or concentric circles) of melted white chocolate (or coconut yogurt) onto the wet dark chocolate.
3. Take a toothpick and drag it gently from the center of the cookie outwards toward the edges to create a spooky spider web design!

Step 5: Chill & Serve

1. Place the plate into the refrigerator for 10 minutes until the chocolate sets firm.
2. Serve immediately and enjoy!
