Itsy Bitsy Spider Cookies for a Spooky Snack

Updated: October 22, 2025 

This post update is brought to you by Counter, my favorite skincare brand. Check out the 2025 Holiday Collection.  I wrote this post in the very first year of my website. During this time in my life, I would write late at night or during a child's naptime. The early days of my blogging were a special time that I look back on fondly. 

Baby Diva came home from preschool with eight additional legs.

I love the creativity in her preschool.

I don't sew, and truthfully, I don't glue well either.  I'm not a craft mom, but I love to "ohh and ahh" over what she made somewhere else.

I am a whiz, though, at Internet surfing, and look what I found from our grandmother's friend, Betty Crocker.

Even though I'm not a gourmet baker, I could pull these little bugs off.

 

Black string licorice

20

orange creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies,

teaspoon chocolate ready-to-spread frosting (from 16-oz container), 

40

miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces.

For each cookie, cut eight 1 1/2-inch pieces of licorice for legs. Insert pieces into the filling on each side of each cookie.


With frosting, attach 2 miniature chocolate pieces to the top of each cookie for eyes.


Now that's a spooky good treat!
