Spider Cookies

This is a repost, but I thought it was worth showing again, especially since I have a lot more followers than when I showed this the first time:

When I saw the SpiderWeb Cookies on Bakerella, I knew we had to make them. Looked cute and easy, requirements for me. Hers look more polished, but mine were sure yummy, and I had little helpers. I used a friend's chocolate chocolate chip recipe for the cookie - it calls for canola oil instead of butter, so it's healthy, right? For the icing I heated it up a little so it would drag smoother. Go make some!  Here's the link: http://www.bakerella.com/trix-out-your-treats/ Super fun, super easy, super yummy.

Update - my friend Renee just started a recipe blog, Sweet Enough
Here is her recipe for Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies (we love to make them with Andes Mint Chips added - yum!!)

½ C canola oil

2 tsp vanilla

4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled

4 large eggs
