Cute Cookie Spiders For Halloween Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Bake cookies as per package directions or your own recipe. When cookies come out of oven, place a Rollo candy (or chocolate covered cherry) on the cookie. Allow to cool for 2 minutes and then remove to cooling rack.
• 2. Carefully stick licorice legs into sides of Rollo candy. (Sometimes I have found that it's easier to stick them under the Rollo.) "Glue" on eyes with a drop of black gel. Using black gel, add two black dots to eyes.

Steps:

• For each cookie, cut eight 1 1/2-inch pieces of licorice for legs. Insert 4 pieces into filling on each side of each cookie.
• With frosting, attach 2 M&M's™ minis chocolate candies to top of each cookie for eyes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cream peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. , Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass. Bake until tops are slightly cracked, 15-17 minutes. Cool for 3 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Immediately press 1 mini peanut butter cup into center of each cookie. Let stand until set., In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Place mixture in a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Adhere candy eyes to peanut butter cups with melted chocolate mixture. Pipe 8 lines alongside each peanut butter cup to resemble spider legs. Let stand until set.
