Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 24 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 48 candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, and egg until well combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Immediately press a mini Reese's into the center of each cookie while still warm.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Using melted chocolate, pipe spider legs from the Reese's out to the edges of the cookies.
- Attach candy eyes to the Reese's with a small dot of melted chocolate.
- Let chocolate set completely before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best results, use creamy peanut butter rather than natural style as it helps the cookies hold their shape better. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls.
