Halloween Peanut Butter Spider Cookies (Two Versions)

Recipe by JustInCooking

Two peanut‑butter cookie recipes perfect for Halloween. The first is a quick, simple version with a soft texture, while the second is a sandier, more stable cookie that can be decorated into realistic spider shapes using melted dark and white chocolate, Kit Kat and chocolate bars. Both use the same peanut‑butter base and are finished with spider legs and eyes for a spooky treat.
