Easy & Yummy Spider Cookies for Halloween
How fun are these spider cookies for Halloween? They are inexpensive and so easy to make, here’s all you need:
- Peanut butter cookies (fresh out of the oven)
- Whoppers
- Milk Duds
- Cookie icing
- Candy eyes
That’s it! That’s all you need. This is a great project to do with the kiddos too. 😊
We used this Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix. I just prepared the cookies according to the instructions and baked them the least amount to make sure that they were cooked through but still soft to press in the candy.
Once the cookies were done baking, I immediately pressed in one Whopper as a head and one Milk Dud as a body into each cookie. I then let the cookies cool completely.
After the cookies were cooled, we used this cookie icing to create spider legs. Using a tiny bit of icing, we attached the candy eyes on the heads.
Here’s a better look at how they turned out.

Right?! They’re the best!
I’m going to make the cookies for my neighbor’s kids!
Awwww! They’ll love them!
Very cute!
Thanks, Shauna!!
My husband’s favorite candy Whoppers, if I bought some I would have to hide them before I made the cookies. He has even attacked my marshmallows that I was going to put on top of sweet potatoes. Nothing is safe in this house. I haven’t started baking because it is just to hot here in Florida and the oven heats up the kitchen. I will try this, but after Halloween.
Nothing is safe in my house either. 😂
Those spider cookies are adorable and look yummy!!
