Well, calm down, my spider cookie decorating ideas are so easy little kids can do it. These simple cookie decorating ideas might not show up on a TV show, but they will be a huge hit in your kitchen! So...come on and find out how easy and how fun it can be to make spider cookies this year for Halloween!

You will find lots of ideas and video instructions to make some of your own fun, easy and even scary Halloween spider cookies. The Twinkie spider picture and the cookie picture on this page belong to me.

Twinkies are not cookies but they do make great spider treats for Halloween. And they are super easy to decorate. As you can see by looking at my one eyed, multi-legged twinkie I used sugar eyeball decorations, string licorice and a bit of chocolate frosting to create this easy, scary and tasty Halloween treat. I think my little spidey cookie looks great...don't you?

Easy Halloween Cookie And Dessert Ideas

Get a pack of sugar eyeballs, some string licorice, Twinkies and some chocolate frosting. Cut your string licorice in 2" or 3" pieces - it depends on how long you want your spider's legs to be. Frost each Twinkie, add an eyeball or 2 or 10, insert licorice to the sides of the Twinkie and you are done. This is a finger lickin' good recipe because there will be some chocolate frosting on your fingers!
