Cookie Ingredients
- Favorite sugar cookie dough (enough for 3 dozen cookies)
Decorations
- 0.88 oz. Edible Candy Eyeballs
- 12 oz. Lavender Candy Melts
Instructions
- Bake Sugar Cookies: Using Wilton’s Mega Cookie Baking Sheet, bake your favorite sugar cookie dough according to the package or recipe directions until golden and cooked through.
- Add Candy Melt and Eyes: Remove cookies from the oven and while still warm, place one lavender candy melt disc at the center of each cookie with the round side facing up. Then, position two candy eyeballs at the top edge of each cookie to resemble eyes.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for about five minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Melt Candy Melts: Place the remaining lavender candy melts in a disposable decorating bag and melt in the microwave following package instructions until smooth.
- Pipe Spider Legs: Cut a small hole at the tip of the decorating bag and pipe four spider legs extending from each candy melt center on the cookies.
- Set and Serve: Chill the decorated cookies for 10 to 15 minutes to set the candy melts. Serve and enjoy your spooky Halloween spider sugar cookies!
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade sugar cookie dough for convenience.
- If you don’t have lavender candy melts, white melts can be tinted with purple food coloring for a similar effect.
- Be careful piping the spider legs—practice on parchment paper first if needed.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These cookies also make fun party favors or classroom treats.
