    These Oreo spider cookies can't be beaten! Make these Halloween cookies for your next family night or party!

    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. 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!

    My favorite Halloween cookies. If you are looking for other Halloween treats, check out these fun and easy Monster Pretzel Hugs our fan-favorite Mummy Rice Krispie Treats, or these spooky Eyeball Cake Bites! For even more inspiration you can check out our entire collection of Halloween ideas.

    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!

    Ingredients:

    • Cream Cheese Frosting

    Ingredients

    • 12 oreos or chocolate cookies
    • 12 sugar cookies
    • 1 cup cream cheese frosting
    • 24 candy eyeballs
    • black icing
    • halloween sprinkles optional

    Instructions

    • Make sugar cookies first. Use this perfect sugar cookie recipe (or you can use a mix!)
    • Place an Oreo near the center of each frosted sugar cookie. 
    • Use black icing to draw four lines on each side of your Oreos to make the spiders legs. 
    • Stick the back side of your candy eye into a bit of leftover frosting and stick on your Oreo to make the spiders eyes. 
    • *Optional* Sprinkle leftover cookies with Halloween sprinkles. Enjoy! 

    Notes

    If short on time you can totally use a sugar cookie mix or even store bought sugar cookies, then quickly spruce them up with the spider embellishments!

      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!
