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!

A quick trip to the grocery store, and the craft store for the sugar eyeballs if your grocery store isn't quite up to speed for Halloween, and you’ll be all set for these adorable Halloween spider cookies!
I love to go all out and add more spider decorations to my table and this ceramic spider bowl is an adorable way to serve more treats!
And why not sprinkle some plastic spiders on your table too!
And don't forget to hang a huge 22-inch inflatable monster spider balloon from the ceiling too. Now that's a creepy crawly party!
Spooky Spiders love hanging out on a Halloween cake too!
