These creepy critter cookies come together with store-bought butter cookies, mini peppermint patties, and a little frosting wizardry.
Pipe orange-tinted legs, stick on chocolate peanut butter candy eyes, and add sprinkle noses for spiders that look just creepy enough to make trick-or-treaters grin.
It’s more craft project than cooking, which makes it ideal for little hands.
Pro Tips
- Use a small round piping tip for clean, even legs that actually look like spider limbs
- Chill the assembled cookies for 10 minutes so the frosting firms up before stacking or transporting
- Swap orange food coloring for black gel color to make the spiders extra spooky
Ingredients
Directions
Attach peppermint patties to cookies with small amount of the frosting tinted orange.
Pipe 8 legs on the cookie and 2 eyes and a nose on the candy bars.
Attach chocolate peanut butter candies for the eyes with chocolate frosting (can also add an iris with the frosting).
Attach chocolate sprinkles with chocolate frosting for the nose.
