Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies For Halloween

Spooky Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for a Halloween sweet treat.

                I can't believe Halloween's almost here.   

 LJ and I decided to make Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies for a spooktacular sweet treat after such a hard couple of days.

He loves working in the kitchen and I love any excuse to spend time with him.

These are great for an older child to help out with and I think they make a super cute surprise for the  lunch box or a spooky sweet treat to serve on Halloween.

Our poor spiders only ended up with 6 legs but I think they look pretty cute and I promised him I would share these on the blog since they were so fun to make.

Scoop cookie dough onto a baking sheet and place 1-3 chocolate chips pointy side down into the top of dough for your spider bodies and bake according to directions.

We used the recipe for Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies.

While the cookies baked we melted 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips and 2 tablespoons Butter.

We found it was easiest to make the spiders while the cookies were still warm.

Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate and draw on spider legs starting at the body and pulling to shape legs.

Allow chocolate to harden before serving.

I can't think of a funner sweet treat for Halloween.

When baking with the kids in the kitchen it's less important to be perfect and more important to have fun! 

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.
