Peanut Butter Spider Cookies
Makes: 4-5 dozen
ingredients
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup natural peanut butter
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp backing soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
mini Reese’s pieces
instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars together. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in the peanut butter.
Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt. Shape into small balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press the centre with a teaspoon or fork to flatten slightly.
Bake at 375F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly. Place melted milk chocolate into a piping bag and pipe a small amount onto the centre of each cookie. Place the Reese’s Pieces in the centre of the cookie, onto the milk chocolate. Pipe out three spider legs on each side and allow the chocolate to solidify. You may also add candy eyes if you wish. Enjoy!
