Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 36 Mini Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Use parchment paper or a silpat mat to line a baking sheet. 
  • Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are blended.
  • Add in the peanut butter, egg, vanilla and milk and beat until combined.
  • Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir until all combined.
  • Scoop out dough and roll into balls. Roll balls in sugar. Place dough balls on prepared pan (12 cookies to a pan if smaller cookies).
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes. 
  • Immediately after pulling out of the oven, gently press an upside down frozen peanut butter cup on top of each cookie and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Put in place the candy eyes while chocolate is still slightly soft.
  • Chill cookies for 10 minutes to allow cookies to become firm.
  • Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in microwave. Place melted chocolate in the corner of a zippered sandwich bag.
  • Clip a tiny piece off of the corner of the bag to allow for piping and draw eight legs on each spider cookie.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow legs to set. Enjoy.
