No-Bake Oreo Spider Cookies
These no-bake Oreo spider cookies turn chocolate sandwich cookies into little Halloween treats with chewy licorice legs and candy eyes. Each one keeps that familiar crunchy cookie and creamy filling, with a little extra sweetness from the decorating icing. They look playful on a platter, and you don’t need to bake, melt chocolate, or pull out a mixer.
Equipment
- Tray or baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Ruler
- Kitchen scissors or knife
- Small spoon or piping bag
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 16 feet black licorice rope cut into 96 two-inch pieces
- 24 candy eyes
- 4 oz white decorating icing
Instructions
- Gently twist apart each Oreo. Place the halves with the most cream filling facing up on a parchment-lined tray.
- Arrange eight licorice pieces on each cream-covered half, four on either side. Gently press the ends into the filling.
- Spread or pipe a little icing onto the inside of the matching cookie halves. Replace them over the legs and press lightly.
- Add two small dots of icing to the top of each cookie, then press a candy eye onto each dot.
- Leave undisturbed for a few minutes so the icing can firm up before serving.
- Tip: Cut all the licorice pieces before assembling.
Notes
Optional decoration: Add a tiny icing smile beneath the eyes.
