Peanut butter spider cookies
Servings: 15 cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- 240 g peanut butter (1 cup)
- 100 g sugar (½ cup)
- 1 egg
Spider decoration
- ~80 g Maltesers (2 Maltesers per cookie)
- ~50 g chocolate, melted
- edible gel for fiery eyes
Instructions
- Make the cookies: combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until you have a solid mass. It may appear liquid at first, keep on mixing. Shape 13-15 equally sized balls and place them on parchment paper. Use a fork to gently flatten them and give them the criss-cross pattern.Bake for 10-15 minutes, they're done when they're golden. Let them cool before decorating
- Attach the spider body: Once the cookies are fully cooled, make two dots with melted chocolate in the middle of the cookies to attach two Maltesers. Add one chocolate dot on one Malteser, so body is 'glued' together. Use a bit of pressure so it holds together.
- Add legs and eyes: Use a pipe with a small opening (~ 1mm) to draw 8 legs with the melted chocolate. You can also use a plastic bag and cut open a small corner, or use a toothpick to draw.Draw the fiery eyes on one Malteser, and you're left with the cutest spider cookies!
