So creepy, adorable and delicious - all at the same time! These creepy spider cookies are perfect for your next Halloween party.

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate fudge cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 (16-ounce) can chocolate frosting
• Shoestring black licorice, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
• 1/4 cup red-hot candies

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, butter and egg (dough will be stiff). Shape into 1-in. balls.

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks.

Spread a heaping teaspoonful of frosting over the bottom of half of the cookies. Place four licorice pieces on each side of cookies for spider legs; top with remaining cookies. For eyes, attach two red-hot candies with frosting to top of spider.
