If you love halloween cookies these easy spider cookies can’t be beat! Perfect halloween treat for any party or get together!

sugar cookie with oreo spider on top on a granite counterIf you’ve been around here long then you know my favorite way to get festive for any holiday or event is with food! I mean there is nothing better than something that is adorable and delicious am I right? Well, that is exactly what these cute spider cookies are!

They are fun and easy to make and twice as fun to eat, haha! Definitely my favorite Halloween cookies! If you are looking for other halloween treats check out these fun and easy monster pretzel hugs, or these spooky eyeball cake bites! For even more inspiration you can check out our entire Halloween gallery here!

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!

    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!
