Hairy Spider Cookies

Hey there, I Dig Pinterest readers! Hope I didn’t scare ya with that pic up there ;o)

My name is Allie and I usually blog over at Baking a Moment. I’m so happy Christine invited me to be a part of this fun Halloween event! I have two little boys and it’s so much fun to get into the holiday spirit with them. They’re only 7 and 5 though, so we don’t really like to be too scary about it. Mildly spooky is about all we can handle around here.

These Hairy Spider Cookies are so much fun for Halloween! So spooky and cute, and they taste like a soft & fudgy Oreo.

These cookies are so fun and easy! My kiddos got in on the creating and we had a blast together. I threw the cookie dough together in the blink of an eye (no pun intended), and then we rolled the balls in chocolate sprinkles and pressed in some candy eyeballs. Just go nuts! There’s no wrong way to do this!

You could even add some black licorice whip legs if you want, but I had trouble finding them so I just sat a few of my critters on an upside-down peanut butter cup. I kinda think it looks like lots of creepy bug legs.

These Hairy Spider Cookies are so much fun for Halloween! So spooky and cute, and they taste like a soft & fudgy Oreo.

{HAIRY SPIDER COOKIES}

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons dutched (black) cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
Chocolate sprinkles
Candy eyeballs
Mini peanut butter cups.
Beat the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl, until fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well-combined.
Stir in the flour, cocoa powders, and salt, and roll the dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon.
Coat the balls in chocolate sprinkles and press in the candy eyeballs.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake the cookies (on parchment-lined baking sheets) for 10 minutes; cool completely.  Place on mini peanut butter cups.  These Hairy Spider Cookies are so much fun for Halloween! So spooky and cute, and they taste like a soft & fudgy Oreo.

The best part about these cookies is how good they taste! They are soft and fudgy inside, and the flavor is almost exactly like an Oreo. My boys are veeeerrrrry picky about what they eat, even when it comes to sweets, and they were begging for more of these hairy spiders! They’ll definitely be making an appearance at their class Halloween parties!

Thanks again, Christine, for the opportunity to meet your readers! I hope you enjoyed this post! I’ve got lots more yummy recipes for dessert lovers over at Baking a Moment, you guys. I’d be so glad if you popped over to say hi! And you can keep up with me by clicking the links below. Happy Halloween!

 

These are unbelievably adorable, Allie!  Just the right amount of spooky for me, too.  🙂 I can’t wait to make some with my kids. Thanks so much for being our guest today!
