I was trying to think of a cool Halloween cookie that didn’t include me making cookie dough ( my true weakness), so using pre-made cookies and simply adding to them was the perfect solution! These easy no bake spider cookies are a hit everywhere I take them.
- Gather your materials. You will need some sandwich cookies , shoe string licorice, some gummy candy and /or jelly beans.
- Open up two cookies and discard the sides with no yummy middle icing.
- Cut your shoe string licorice into 8 legs of the same length and stick them in the white icing on one cookie.
- Pop the other open cookie on top ( so it’s double stuffed now… you could also just use double stuffed to start with) .
- Cut some green gummy candy into small circles. I am using sour apple licorice.
- Pop it on top of the cookie to make eyes.
- Add small bits of the shoe string licorice for the pupil.
- OR you can cut a red jelly belly in half and pop those on for eyes. They stick well if you lick the bottom ( so you may not want to do this version if you are serving these to guests) .
- OR you can add green gummy candy for the eyes and top it with the very end of a red jelly belly.
- Enjoy.
Great craft! Where did you buy your shoe string licorice? Thanks!
Thanks! I got mine in the bulk section of my grocery store.
Nice simple but super cute treats! Great idea!
Who Hoo, I JUST bought oreos ten minutes ago at the grocery. And I desperately needed a snack idea for our at home preschool group tomorrow. I am all set. Thanks!
