- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 12 mini Reeses peanut butter cups
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to cream the ingredients together for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.
- Whisk in the egg for about a minute, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Whisk in the peanut butter.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Gently whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until homogenous.
- Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to drop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet. Flatten your balls slightly into discs and bake for 11 minutes.
- Top each cookie with a peanut butter cup as they come out of the oven. Melt your chocolate chips and then place the chocolate in a ziplock bag or piping bag. Pipe 8 lines onto each cookie coming out of the peanut butter cup to resemble spider legs.
- After you pipe on all the legs, place two candy eyes onto a side of each peanut butter cup. Enjoy!
