Halloween Treat: Spooky Spider Cookies

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more details.

These spooky spider cookies are so fun and so easy to make!

Spooky Spider Cookies

I love simple and I love fun halloween themed treats. These Spooky Spider cookies are so fun to make (the kids will love helping you) and they also make for a fun treat to bring to parties and gatherings. The kids love the little eyeballs and all of the spooky (ok, cute!) spider cookies look awesome on the table.

Items Needed:

Any type of cookie will work. You can use homemade cookies, or if you are in a rush, pre-made cookie dough (or even store bought cookies) can work.
Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Candy Eyes
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Bake Cookies as directed.  As you pull them out of the oven use a teaspoon-measuring spoon to make divots in the middle of the cookie and then allow the cookies to cool completely.

While you are waiting for your cookies to cool, place a cup of chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave them in intervals of 12 seconds until they are completely melted. You will use this melted chocolate to drizzle the legs onto the cookies.

Now place Your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in the middle of the cookie where your divot is. By placing a dap of melted chocolate on the back of the candy eyes, you can then stick them into place on the peanut butter cups. Lastly, use your melted chocolate to drizzle the spiders legs onto the cookies. I used the smallest tip on my Wilton cake decorating set. Let the melted chocolate dry. Enjoy!

  1. Thanks for this neat idea, but note: spiders have 8 legs. That's a good thing: it means MORE CHOCOLATE!!!

  2. Thanks Mark! We actually modeled this after the very rare African 6 legged spider. Just kidding. I try to know as little about spiders as possible, although great point, more legs = more chocolate!!

  10. Totally cool. Love this idea. I tried to sign up to receive your posts by email and it wouldn't work. :(

  11. Susan, I'm so sorry. I wonder why it isn't working? I can have my tech guy look into the issue if you can tell me what went wrong? Let me know if you need something emailed to you, happy to help! You should also see an email sign up at the top of the blog. Thank you!

  12. I'm not sure why it didn't work. When I made the comment though I checked to receive posts by email so hopefully it will work.

  15. Super cute! Pinned it and will make them for my Reeces loving kids for Halloween. Thanks for sharing on Share Your Style

  17. These Halloween idea will be great this year for my grandkids Halloween party, ages 5 and 10, they will love them. Thanks for sharing. I love it.
