Finally, reassemble the leftover dough scraps into a loaf and place it in the fridge at least 15 minutes before reusing it and making other biscuits.

Make biscuits of the same number because then, they will be coupled, put the pan in the fridge for 15 minutes and finally bake one pan at a time in a static oven at 180 ° for 10 – 12 minutes.

Until the biscuits are golden brown.

Finally, take your biscuits out of the oven and set them aside to cool.

Proceed in this way until the shortcrust pastry is finished.

Decorate the Spider Biscuits

First of all, start with the realization only when the basics are very cold.

then melt the milk chocolate in a bain-marie.

Finally, dip the back of the biscuit and flatten with a spatula and remove the excess chocolate from the surface.

Place the freshly covered chocolate biscuits on a work surface previously covered with baking paper.

When the chocolate is still hot, insert the spider's eyes: 2 smarties and sprinkle the surface with chocolate sprinkles:

Do this for half of the biscuits available and let them dry perfectly for 1 hour at room temperature.

When the freshly decorated biscuits are dry, stuff the other half of the undecorated biscuit by adding 1 teaspoon of ganache in the center.

Then break the Mikado in half (the spider legs) by inserting them sideways on the ganache:

Hey! Sarah from Feeding Your Fam here to creep you out with this easy Halloween Cookie recipe! This is such a fun cookie to make for your family or Halloween parties!! These look like you may need to be an artist to make, but trust me, they are easy and you don’t need to be a professional to pull these Spider Cookies off!!

How to make The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies:

After trying out multiple chocolate chip cookie recipes over many years, I have picked up several important tips for making the absolute BEST cookies!

Halloween Spider Cookies are so much fun to make! A classic cookie recipe takes a creepy turn with a giant chocolate spider on top!

  • Make sure that you have enough flour in the dough. If the dough is too sticky, you may need to add a little bit of flour.
  • Spend a little extra time when you mix the butter and sugars. Creaming them together for 2-3 minutes will improve the consistency of your cookies.
  • Preheat the oven. This will help your cookies turn out right every time!
  • Use a cookie scoop! If you want all your cookies to be perfectly shaped and have them all be the same size, a cookie scoop is the way to go.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Doing this will make it really easy to remove the cookies from your cookie sheet so that you don’t have to scrape them off the pan – they will just slide right off in perfect shape!
  • Don’t over bake the cookies – when I take mine out of the oven, they still look slightly under baked but they will continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a couple more minutes so that’s ok!

Why do my cookies burn on the bottom but aren’t done in the middle?

If your cookies are always burning on the bottom, it is probably a cookie sheet issue! If you are using really dark cookie sheets, the bottoms of your baked goods will tend to burn before they are actually cooked all the way through. If you use a lot of cooking spray, the same result can happen. I prefer to use lighter colored non-stick pans so that I don’t have to use cooking spray at all. As mentioned above, I have been converted to silicone baking mats over the last couple of years and I love how easy it is for cookies to come off the tray – no sticking ever!

How to make Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies?

First, preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Start by mixing together the butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until they are well combined. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

Now, mix the flour mixture with the creamed butter and sugars. Add the flour in about 1 cup at a time and mix in between.

Add in the chocolate chips and stir to combine. The dough should be soft and not sticky.

Using a cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto an ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use two spoons to scoop up the dough and place it on the cookie sheet.

Place the cookies about 2 inches apart as they will spread while baking.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until golden around the edges.

Remove the cookies from the oven and place on a cooling rack. While the cookies are still warm start building your spiders.

Place one large chocolate melting wafer for the body and one chocolate chip for the head on the warm cookie. The chocolate will melt making it easy to draw out the spider legs.

Dip the tip of a toothpick into the melted chocolate body of the spider, use this to draw out the legs of the spider on the top of the chocolate chip cookie. Continue dipping into the chocolate to make all of the legs. The dipping chocolate works best for drawing on the legs, just let the chocolate chip melt to become the head of the spider.

To make the eyes for these Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies, simply drop a few sprinkles into the melted chocolate chip head of the spider. This is totally optional, these spider cookies still look creepy crawly without eyes.

Why are my cookies flat?

If your chocolate chip cookies are flat and spread out too much while baking, you may need to add a little bit more flour. Start by just adding a few tablespoons of flour to the batter and see if that is enough to help the shape of your cookies.

Should I use butter or shortening in my cookies?

I’ve made great chocolate chip cookies with butter and I’ve made great cookies with shortening – both can work very well! This particular chocolate chip cookie recipe uses butter but many of the other chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve tried have called for shortening. My other favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for butter-flavored shortening which makes them absolutely amazing. For a long time, I wasn’t very happy with any of the recipes I tried that used butter so I began to think that shortening was the key to perfect chocolate chip cookies. Until I found this recipe!
