Witches Brooms and Spider Cookies
1/2 cup Cane sugar
1/2 cup Coconut oil or margarine
2 Tbsp. Nut or seed butter
4 Tbsp Dairy free milk
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 cups. Gluten Free Flour *
1/8 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks
Chocolate chips
Chocolate drizzle:
1/4 cup. Chocolate chips
2 tsp. Coconut oil

4. Mix in flour, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and take small pieces of dough and roll them into balls.
For the witches brooms:
Take the rolled ball and stick a pretzel stick in one end. Gently place on the baking sheet and form the shape of a broom. Take a wet fork and gently press down to form the "bristles".
For the spiders:
Take the rolled ball and gently place on the cookie sheet. Slightly flatten and take pretzels and push 4 in on each side to from the spiders legs. Add two chocolate chips at the front for the eyes.
7. Bake for about 12- 14 minutes, until slightly firm to the touch.
