Melted chocolate is also drizzled along the sides to create the spider legs, and candy eyes are pressed onto the peanut butter cups to make the spider faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few extra steps, these cookies aren&#8217;t too difficult and they&#8217;re a huge hit every time I make them for Halloween. They can even be assembled a few days in advance because they stay perfectly soft for days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1813\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=1360%2C1813&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of the ingredients needed to make peanut butter spider cookies. \" class=\"wp-image-55074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=340%2C453&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=680%2C907&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=249%2C332&amp;ssl=1 249w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=498%2C664&amp;ssl=1 498w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=348%2C464&amp;ssl=1 348w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=696%2C928&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Ingredients.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter:<\/strong> I suggest using a creamy, no-stir peanut butter for this recipe like Jif or Skippy. Do not use a natural peanut butter because it will make the cookies greasy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>This recipe calls for both brown sugar and granulated sugar. The brown sugar adds moisture and flavor while the granulated sugar adds a little extra sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour: <\/strong>This provides the structure for the cookies. As always, I recommend spooning the flour into your measuring cup and leveling it off with the back of a knife. You never want to scoop flour from the container because you will end up with too much and crumbly cookies. If you&#8217;re not familiar with the spoon and level method, I highly recommend reading through my post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-measure-flour\/\">how to measure flour correctly<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter Cups: <\/strong>Be sure to use miniature peanut butter cups for this recipe! They&#8217;re the perfect size for the center of these cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Candy Eyeballs: <\/strong>You should be able to find these in the baking aisle at your local grocery store. If you can&#8217;t find any, a craft store like Michaels usually has them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips: <\/strong>These are melted and piped onto the cookies to make the spider legs. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you may also use milk or dark chocolate chips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shortening: <\/strong>This is optional, but I find that it makes the chocolate shinier and helps it hold up much better at room temperature. Feel free to use coconut oil instead, just keep in mind that the chocolate may not stay quite as firm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1813\" data-id=\"55076\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=1360%2C1813&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of peanut butter cookie dough in a metal mixing bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-55076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=340%2C453&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=680%2C907&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=249%2C332&amp;ssl=1 249w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=498%2C664&amp;ssl=1 498w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=348%2C464&amp;ssl=1 348w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=696%2C928&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-1.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1813\" data-id=\"55077\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=1360%2C1813&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of peanut butter cookie dough balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. \" class=\"wp-image-55077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=340%2C453&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=680%2C907&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=249%2C332&amp;ssl=1 249w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=498%2C664&amp;ssl=1 498w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=348%2C464&amp;ssl=1 348w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=696%2C928&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Spider-Cookies-Step-2.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Spider Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting started with the cookie dough, make sure to unwrap all of your miniature peanut butter cups, place them on a baking sheet, and put them in the freezer. The base of these cookies is also pretty simple and straightforward, but if you need a little more guidance feel free to read through my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/soft-peanut-butter-cookies\/\">peanut butter cookie recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make the cookie dough:<\/strong> Beat the butter until smooth, then add the sugars. Add your peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scoop the cookie dough: <\/strong>I suggest scooping the cookie dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls (I use a cookie scoop to make this easier).

If the cookies are too warm, the peanut butter cups will slide around on top and won&#8217;t be as pretty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the cookies have cooled for 30 minutes on the baking sheet, I like to place them in the fridge (still on the sheet!) to allow the peanut butter cups time to chill and fully harden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have a piping bag or squeeze bottle, pour the melted
