Push the chocolate in while the cookies are hot — that's what holds the spiders together.
How to make it
- Heat the oven. Set it to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Make the dough. Beat the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Bake. Roll into 1-inch balls, place 2 inches apart, and bake 10–12 minutes until the edges are set.
- Build the spiders. Right out of the oven, press a chocolate truffle into the center of each cookie and stick 8 pretzel halves around it for legs. Add candy eyes if you want.
- Cool. Let them cool on the pan 10 minutes so the spiders stay put.
