These Oreo spider cookies can't be beaten! Make these Halloween cookies for your next family night or party!
If you've been around here long then you know my favorite way to get festive for any holiday or event is with food. When that food includes Oreos, it's even better. Well, that is exactly why these cute spider cookies are so great.
They are fun to make and twice as fun to eat, haha!

Spider Cookies
The base of these little cuties is a basic sugar cookie! You can make your own favorite sugar cookie recipe from scratch (here's a good one). Or, use a ready made sugar cookie mix to make these super easy. Who ever said that being the "fun mom" had to be hard or time consuming?
I don't know about you guys but I am more of a "cute halloween" person than a "scary halloween" person. So, when I set out to make a cute halloween cookie recipe I thought a friendly spider would be fun!
They were so quick to whip up and my kids and their friends still talk about them!

these spider cookies are so stinkin' cute! and, I am all about boxed baking mixes! i think they taste even better than made from scratch baked goods. my husband calls it "half-scratch" - haha! i've never tried swig mixes, but i'll definitely be giving them a try after seeing how delicious your cookies look! thanks for the inspiration. i know my kids will love these!
Jessica
Yay! I totally agree with you about the "half-scratch"! They are so yummy!
