Keto Halloween Spider Web Sugar Wafers
Time to get festive with Keto Halloween candy like these Keto Spider Web Sugar Wafers! The sweet, tender, vanilla-scented dough is rolled and cut into rounds then baked to golden brown perfection. These soft cookie-like wafers are like sugar cookies! They are decorated with spooky spider webs made from melted sugar-free chocolate chips.
How to Make It
Step 1
Begin with room temperature butter and cream cheese. Starting with perfectly room temperature ingredients allows for the best emulsion and therefore creaming process. Place the butter, cream cheese, and Swerve together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Cream for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 2
Add the dry ingredients and the almond extract. Blend until it has just combined and is a smooth dough, about one minute.
Step 3
Remove the dough and place it on top of a large piece of parchment paper. Top the dough with another piece of parchment paper and roll the dough to ⅓” – ¼” thickness. Place the dough that is between two sheets of parchment paper onto a baking sheet and place it in the freezer until very firm, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Once the dough is firm, cut 2 ½” rounds out of the dough using a round cookie cutter. Place the cut pieces of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet about 1 ½” a part.
Step 5
Bake wafers for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow the wafers to cool completely before attempting to remove them from the baking sheet.
Step 6
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high in 30 second increments until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir after each heating. Place into a piping bag fitted with a small round piping tip. Squeeze lines from the outside of the wafer to the inside of the wafer in an asterisk shape. Then squeeze three circles starting from the inside working your way to the very outside edge of the wafer. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
