The Cutest Little Halloween Spider Cookies

I couldn’t resist sharing these Halloween Spider Cookies with you! I love how simple peanut butter cookies turn into little spiders with Reese’s peanut butter cups, chocolate frosting, and these candy googly eyes. They’re such a fun little treat to make when Halloween rolls around!

I’ve been in love with all things Halloween and fall my entire life, so whenever October comes around, we have to go all out. And these are exactly the kind of fun themed recipes I love having around for the season.

The best part is that you can use homemade or store-bought peanut butter cookies, so you can keep things as simple as you’d like. Then it’s just a matter of adding the Reese’s peanut butter cups, chocolate frosting, and googly eyes to turn them into little spiders.

If you’re having fun making Halloween treats this year, you have to check out my Spider Donuts, too! They’re just as fun to make, and I love how a few simple decorations can turn an everyday treat into something festive.

And for a fun breakfast idea, my Pancake Donuts are another favorite! You can decorate them with all kinds of toppings, which makes them perfect for getting the family involved in the kitchen.

You can also find this spider cookie idea in my cookbook, Celebrating Every Day!

P.S. If you want one more spooky treat for your Halloween spread, my No-Bake Spider Web Cheesecake is such a fun one to add. Because honestly, Halloween is the perfect excuse to make all the cute themed desserts!
