Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 70kcal
Equipment
- 1 pair of scissors
- 1 large baking sheet
- toothpicks
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 16 Oreo cookies
- Rope black licorice
- 32 candy eyes
- 4 ounces white icing
- 32 pieces of candy corn
Instructions
- Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Gently pull apart Oreos and place on baking sheet.
- Cut the black licorice into 2-inch pieces. You will need 8 per cookie, so 128 total.
- Place 4 pieces of cut licorice on each side of the cookie with filling. Place a dime-size of icing on the inside of the matching cookie top (the one without filling). Place top back onto cookie with licorice legs.
- Use a toothpick to place a pea-size of icing on the back of candy eyes and place two on top of each cookie to create the eyes of your cookie spiders.
- Cut candy corn just above where the white part ends (I like to have a little bit of orange showing for a black & orange look). Insert the candy corn tips into the front portion of cookie filling, between the two sets of legs, creating spider fangs.
Notes
- Storage: Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- How to freeze: Wrap individual cookies in foil and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in refrigerator overnight.
- Serve as-is on a decorative plate or use as Halloween cupcake/cake toppers.
- Use a tooth-pick to place icing onto candy eyes.
