Spider Cookies
Spider Cookies
From the blogger: "Prep, roll, bake then decorate your way to the cutest spider cookies for your Halloween dessert spread! Sweet but spooky, these spider cookies will crawl right off your dessert table in minutes! Homemade peanut butter cookies topped with mini Reese’s cups and candy eyeballs create the cutest Halloween party dessert. These spider cookies are the only acceptable time to have creepy crawlies on top of your food. A perfected peanut butter cookie base is decked out with a Reese’s cup, candy eyeballs, and decorator gel to make one of the most adorable Halloween desserts you’ll come across. We made them a couple of years ago for our pumpkin painting party and they were some of the first things to disappear from the table."
