Ingredients
- 1 box Pillsbury Halloween Sugar Cookie Mix
- 24 pieces DOVE Chocolate eyeballs
- 2 tubs Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti Vanilla Frosting
- 2-3 teaspoons black food coloring
- 3 pieces red licorice
- 12 pieces black licorice
- assorted Halloween sprinkles
- piping bag for frosting
- large star tip
Instructions
- Prepare cookies according to package directions. These cookies are so simple and easy to cook. Make sure not to eat the dough, you will need every bit to complete these adorable Vampire Spider Cookies.
- While cookies are cooling, prepare frosting by adding black coloring to the Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti Vanilla Frosting. Stir until smooth and frosting is the color you desire.
- Add frosting to piping bag with a large star tip attached.
- Top make the Vampire Spider Cookies follow the directions below, if you have any questions be sure to check out the step by step pictures.
- Lay 1 cookie bottom side up, start on the outside of the cookie and frosting using piping bag, finish off by swirling in the center, so that the center frosting is higher than the edges. This will allow the frosting to stay in the cookie and not come out.
- Top the frosting with another cookie, bottom side down on the frosting. Be sure not to press too hard, you don’t want to force the frosting out of the spider cookie. Just gently lay the cookie down on top of the frosting.
- Next place the eyeballs. On the bottom part of the chocolate eyeball, squeeze a small amount of frosting, place on top of the cookie sandwich, like pictured. Repeat with the remaining eyeball and place directly next to the first one placed.
- Cut the licorice into 24 tiny triangles, place two of the triangles on the cookie sandwich like pictured. Directly below the eyeballs in the frosting, in between the cookies.
- Next, make small stars on top of the cookie sandwich. Do this by lightly pressing a small amount of frosting onto the cookie. Once you have a star shape, lift the bag and repeat until the entire top of the spider is covered.
- Sprinkle some Halloween sprinkles on top of the frosting, put as much of as little. I sprinkled about a ½ teaspoon.
- Next, add the “legs” to the spider by cutting the black licorice into strips. Place 4 strips into the frosting in the center of the Vampire Spider Cookie.
- Set the spider aside and repeat with remaining cookies, frosting, and eyeballs.
- Let the spiders rest, for the frosting to harden a bit so that the eyeballs and legs stay in place. Package and serve, or place on a treat plate for each kid and/or adult to grab their own.
