1 package of chocolate cookie dough 🍪
1 bag of chocolate truffles 🍫
Black icing for spider legs 🕷️
White icing or candy eyes for spider eyes 👀

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝟭. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal. Lay out your chocolate cookie dough 🍪, chocolate truffles 🍫, black icing 🕷️, and candy eyes 👀 to have everything ready for decorating.

2. Bake the cookies:
Scoop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes ⏳, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies should be slightly chewy to give them the perfect texture for your spooky spider base. Once baked, remove from the oven 🔥 and allow the cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Prepare the truffles for spiders:
While the cookies are baking, prepare the chocolate truffles 🍫 that will form the bodies of your spooky spiders. If the truffles are large, you may want to cut them in half for better proportion on the cookies. Set them aside so they are ready to be placed on the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.

4. Assemble the spider cookies:
Once the cookies are cool but still slightly warm, press one chocolate truffle 🍫 onto the center of each cookie to act as the spider’s body. Gently press down to ensure it sticks to the cookie, but be careful not to crush the truffle. The warmth of the cookie will slightly soften the chocolate, helping it adhere without melting completely.

5. Add the spider legs:
Using black icing 🕷️, pipe 8 legs onto each cookie, starting from the base of the truffle and extending outwards. Try to make the legs look a bit wavy or curved to give them a creepy, realistic appearance. This is where you can have fun with creativity—make each spider unique!

6. Add the spider eyes:
Dab a small amount of white icing or place candy eyes 👀 onto the front of each truffle to create the eyes of your spooky spider. If you’re using icing, pipe small dots to resemble eyes. Let the icing set for a few minutes until the decorations are firmly in place.

7. Cool and serve:
Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving to ensure the icing sets. Your Spooky Spider Cookies are now ready to enjoy! These fun Halloween treats are perfect for parties, trick-or-treaters, or a festive dessert table. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
