Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix cookie mix, butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape into 24 (1 1/4 inch) balls; place on ungreased large cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes. Move to cooling rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 4
    Spoon vanilla frosting into small resealable freezer plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut small tip from one corner of bag. Working from center to outer edge, pipe frosting to form spiral design on top of cookie. Working from center of spiral to outer edge, pipe several lines to form web design.
  • 5
    Spoon chocolate frosting into small resealable freezer plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut small tip from one corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe small circle of frosting on cookie. Turn peanut butter cup top side down on circle of frosting. Pipe 8 lines for spider legs around peanut butter cup; pipe 2 small dabs of frosting, and attach 2 eyeballs. Repeat decorating steps with remaining cookies (use photo as guide).

    Store covered at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For even baking, make sure cookies are the same shape and size.
  • tip 2
    Use a decorating bag fitted with small plain piping tip for a more polished decorating look.
  • tip 3
    If using 20% more cookie mix (21 oz pouch), add 1 tablespoon water to cookie mix, butter and egg. Increase vanilla frosting to 3/4 cup and chocolate frosting to 1/2 cup. Use 28 peanut butter cups and 56 candy eye balls. Makes 28 cookies.
