I love making Halloween recipes each year, like Halloween Brownies, Witch Hat Cupcakes, Halloween Pizzas, Halloween Cupcakes, or Pumpkin Cupcakes!
How to make Spider Cookies:
Make chocolate chip cookie dough: Bake chocolate chip cookies, and immediately after pulling the hot cookies out of the oven, place 3-4 chocolate chips on each cookie with the point facing up. Melt additional chocolate chips in a double boiler or a glass bowl in the microwave heating on low, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Draw Spider legs: Pour melted chocolate into a small ziplock bag and cut off a tiny bit on the corner to make a very small hole. Pipe the spider legs on both sides of each chocolate chip to make easy spider cookies.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Keep any leftover spider cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-2 days or freeze in a freezer safe bag or container. To Freeze: Let cookies cool completely then place in an airtight container or bag safe for the freezer and freeze for up to 3 months.
