Easy Halloween Spider Cookies
Fun spider cookies, great for Halloween and Spider themed events.
Ingredients
- 17.5 oz pouch Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix or your own favorite cookie recipe
- 15 malt ball candies
- 15 chocolate covered peanuts or raisins
- tube of black or brown decorator icing (I used Cake-Mate)
- tube of red decorating gel
Directions
1
Bake cookies according to package instructions.
2
I made 15 larger sized cookies, but you could adjust the size and make them smaller.
3
When cookies are still warm from the oven, move them to a cooling rack and place one malt ball and one chocolate covered peanut on top of cookies and press them in a little.
4
When the cookie is completely cool, add the spider legs with icing and a dot of red gel on the malt ball.
My kids loved helping me make these! They turned out super cute and I thought they were so simple to make! Serve the cookies on a platter with a fake spider and you have the perfect treat for a Halloween party. Enjoy!
So cute!
They look good!
I assume with the red this is a black widow spider… goes right with the peanut…eek.
Cute cookies though
Ah, thanks. I couldn’t figure out what it was supposed to be. Took me a while to figure out what the red gummy worms in the last post were supposed to be, too.
lol Still trying to figure it out. It’s a black widow, but how does that correlate with the peanut?
Shes allergic
those spiders look really scary!
Perfect for my son’s preschool Halloween party! thanks!
These would be perfect for my son’s preschool Halloween party. Thanks!
Our school won’t let us bring any items with peanuts in them, boo!
You can use chocolate covered raisins or another shaped candy
And a sugar cookie!
It’s def a recipe that’s just a jumping off point & very creative- can absolutely be modified to suit whatever dietary needs or preferences- thanks Lina for another great idea!
