Your friends, kids, and co-workers will love these sweet treats. I may be partial. They are almost too adorable to eat. These Spooky Spider Oreo Halloween Cookies are simple to make.

Ingredients Needed

• ¾ cup softened butter
• ¾ cup of sugar
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2½ cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• A sandwich bag filled with Oreos, coarsely crushed (I used about 12)
• 12 oz bag of white chocolate chips
• Extra Oreo cookies
• Black decorating gel
• Candy eyes

How To Make These Cookies

First, pull out those Oreo cookies, and crush those cookies inside a sandwich bag. I like to use my meat tenderizing mallet for this job.

Next, pull out that mixing bowl. Cream together butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whip up until light and fluffy.

Then, in a second bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Now grab your bowl with your wet ingredients back out. You are now going to want to add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine them.

To complete the cookie dough batter, you will now add the Oreos and the white chocolate chips to the batter and mix well.

To avoid the cookie batter spreading on a cookie sheet into one giant cookie, we like to use a whoopie pie pan. This does help so much and you get nice-looking cookies. It makes your cookies look more symmetrical.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they just begin to brown. Let them cool completely on the cookie sheet. We used decorating gel to ‘glue’ on an Oreo to the center of each cookie.

You can now add a dot of decorating gel to the back of each of the candy eyes and stick it into place. I used these Wilton Candy Eyes. Halloween Spider Cookies – perfect party treat.

If you don’t have decorating gel, you can use melted chocolate candy melts. Also, using decorating gel on hand, you can use it to pipe on 8 spider legs. If not, you can substitute by using melted chocolate.

How to Melt Candy Melts

Let’s start by melting your chocolate candy melts. Pour 1/2 cup of candy melts into a microwaved safe bowl.

Microwave on high for 30-second intervals. Stirring each time. Do not overcook.

Once completely melted, pour into a plastic bag and cut a small hole in the corner. Or instead of using a sandwich bag, you can also use a piping bag with tip #3.

Storing Your Spider Cookies

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or store on the countertop in an airtight container for up to one 1 week.

If kept in the fridge, your cookies will be very hard. I am sure that they won’t even make it that long in your home. They are that good. You can also freeze these cookies. They hold up well. They will last up to 3 months in the freezer. Just keep them in a place that will protect them from damage.
