  • 75g white sugar
  • 40g brown sugar
  • 65g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 130g smooth peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 95g all-purpose (cake) flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • ±12 Lindt balls
  • ±24 candy eyes
  • 50g chocolate, melted

1. Make the cookie dough:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine white sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix for about 1 minute.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low speed until well combined and a soft dough forms.

2. Shape & bake:

  1. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Roll the dough into small balls (just smaller than a golf ball) and place them on the tray, about 3 inches apart.
  3. Gently flatten each ball with your fingers.
  4. Bake for ±10–12 minutes at 180°C, until lightly golden.

3. Create the indent:

  1. Remove the cookies from the oven.
  2. While still warm, use the back of a teaspoon to gently press an indent into the center of each cookie — deep enough to hold a Lindt ball.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

4. Decorate:

  1. Place the melted chocolate into a small piping bag.
  2. Pipe a small amount of chocolate into each indent, then place a Lindt ball on top.
  3. Attach two candy eyes to each Lindt ball using a dab of melted chocolate.
  4. Finish by piping spider legs onto the sides of each cookie.
