Cute Cookie Spiders For Halloween Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cream peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. , Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass. Bake until tops are slightly cracked, 15-17 minutes. Cool for 3 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Immediately press 1 mini peanut butter cup into center of each cookie. Let stand until set., In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Place mixture in a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Adhere candy eyes to peanut butter cups with melted chocolate mixture. Pipe 8 lines alongside each peanut butter cup to resemble spider legs. Let stand until set.

Steps:

• 1. Bake cookies as per package directions or your own recipe. When cookies come out of oven, place a Rollo candy (or chocolate covered cherry) on the cookie. Allow to cool for 2 minutes and then remove to cooling rack.
• 2. Carefully stick licorice legs into sides of Rollo candy. (Sometimes I have found that it's easier to stick them under the Rollo.) "Glue" on eyes with a drop of black gel. Using black gel, add two black dots to eyes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F
• Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper, non stick foil, baking mat or spray with cooking spray.
• Cream butter, brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar together.
• Add eggs and blend well, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
• Add peanut butter and blend again. Scrape sides.
• Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition.
• Add baking soda and salt - blend.
• In a small bowl add 1/4 cup of sugar.
• Scoop out 1 Tablespoon portions of dough and roll into a ball.
• Place cookie dough in sugar and roll around, coating entire ball.
• Place sugared ball onto prepared cookie sheet. Fill entire sheet, leaving enough space between so cookies can expand.
• Bake for 8 - 10 minutes.
• While cookies are baking, unwrap enough peanut butter cups to place one on each cookie.
• Remove cookies from oven and gently press one peanut butter cup in the center of each cookie.
• When all cookies have a peanut butter cup on them, go back around and gently press each cup again into cookie.
• Add two eyeballs onto the sides of each peanut butter cup.
• Place melting chocolate wafers in a freezer zipper bag - into a corner of the bag. Cook in microwave for 10 seconds then massage wafers. Repeat until all wafers are melted. Ensure that all chocolate is in the corner of the bag.
• Snip a tiny piece of the edge of zipper bag and pipe on eight legs to every spider.
• Allow cookies to cool fully to allow chocolate to harden. Then store, freeze or eat!
