How to Make Cute & Easy Halloween Spider Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet.
Tip: We love these reusable silicon baking mats because they’re non-stick and you only need to buy them once!
Arrange the cookie dough about 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake according to directions on the package. (We used pre-made dough to save time!)
Tip: If you really want to get into the Halloween spirit, try this recipe for Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies from Sugar Spice & Glitter!
Allow cookies to cool for about 5 minutes (when they are cool enough to handle, but still warm to the touch). Arrange one Rollo in the center of each cookie and gently press down so that it stays in place.
Add a small drop of black decorating icing onto the back of two edible eyes and attach to front and center of the Rollo candy. Also using the black icing, draw legs on top of the cookies, from the center Rollo to the outside of the cookie. Repeat for each cookie.
Allow frosting to set for 15-30 minutes, then enjoy your spooky treat!
