Beat the butter until soft peaks are formed

Add in 1/2 the sugar and beat until incorporated, then repeat by adding the remaining sugar

Keep 4-5 tablespoon of the dough aside to be used for Oreo spider cookies

You may want to refrigerate the dough wrapped in a cling film for an hour before beginning to shape the cookies(optional)

Once done, align a baking tray with baking paper and put your gloves on

Preheating the oven can be done when you are half way through your shaping process, as it may take sometime

For the ghost cookies, option 1: if using a cookie cutter, it’s essential that you refrigerate the dough before shaping, as you want it to be firm

Cut off ghost shaped cookies and place Choco chips to denote eyes

Option 2: for shaping with hands, roll a lemon sized dough into s ball and flatten to form a tear/rain drop shape(easy option)

Another way is to shape them like a pear and then place Choco chips.

For witch fingers : take a dough portion lesser than a lemon

Roll into a cylinder and place on the baking tray

Create all finger and ghost cookies similarly and as many as you need from the dough

Halfway through shaping the cookies, preheat oven to 180 degree celcius

Leave 1/2 inch gap between each cookie and place the tray in the oven once done

Bake until the sides slightly brown and transfer the baked cookies on a rack to cool

The Oreo spider cookies can be made in minutes.

Mix melted chocolate/1/2 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the dough kept aside before

Separate the biscuit shells and roll a pinch sized portions of the chocolate dough into tiny spider legs

Cover with the shell once agin and press down gently. Keep aside to set

Place the creme in a bowl and dip a chopstick end in it

Create spider eyes and place chocolate buttons to create eyeballs..scary!! (You can break Choco chips into smaller pieces for eye balls if so not find small sized chocolate buttons)

That’s it. Our scary Oreo spider cookies are ready

Store airtight until the ‘big day’

Surprise your family and pals with your delicious and scary treats! Happy Halloween
