No-Bake Spooky Spider Cookies Recipe
Kids will love making our easy spider cookies as a craft project and they'll be delighted when they get to eat them too! Or just make them as the googly-eyed dessert to celebrate the spookiest of days.
These adorable, I mean spooky, spiders are made from mini Oreo cookies, black licorice and edible sugar eyes. And we all know that Oreo Halloween treats are the hit of every ghoulish party!
Make them Oreo spider cupcakes or an entire web of spiders atop your favorite cake.
These little spider creatures are just as happy on top of a cupcake or a spider-webbed layer cake as they are on a store-bought cookie.
So let them crawl around on your dessert of choice!
