How to cook deliciously - Chocolate Spiderweb Sandwich Cookies

1. Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

2. Stage

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes; beat in the egg. Reduce the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture, beating until incorporated.

3. Stage

Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap and shape into an 8-in. log. Wrap up and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.

4. Stage

Heat oven to 350°F. Unwrap the dough and cut into 1/4-in.-thick slices (you should end up with 28 usable pieces). Place them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them 2 in. apart. Bake for 4 minutes. Rotate the positions of the sheets and bake until the cookies are set, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Stage

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup of the icing to a bowl and tint orange; spoon into a resealable plastic bag.

6. Stage

Divide the remaining frosting among 14 of the cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Snip off a small piece of one corner of the bag and pipe spiderwebs on the top of each sandwich.
