Spider Molasses Cookies
Spooky Spider Cookies
The inspiration for these Spider Molasses Cookies came from my terrifying fear of spiders and all things creepy crawly. Halloween is all about being frightened and facing your fears, right?!? So, I thought I would turn my fear into a delicious and much “less scary” treat to gobble up!
Most people put chocolate on a peanut butter cookie, but with two family members not fond of peanut butter and a LOT more kids with peanut allergies, I decided to change it up a little and use a molasses cookie for a unique combination that gives you hints of a toffee taste. These cookies are also a great accompaniment with tea or coffee that adults will also enjoy. This recipe makes 6 dozen 2-inch cookies. (I halved the recipe while taking photos, so the photos might seem a little scarce or different from when you make this.)
