PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE SPIDERS
These are the cutest and most fun little Halloween cookies that taste SO good! Eat them now or save em for later!
This recipe targets:
Gluten-Free | Dairy-Free | Grain-Free | Vegan
One of my favorite parts about these cookies is that they are low in refined sugar! You can use monkfruit in place of other options to help keep your blood-sugar balanced.

1-2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or monkfruit syrup)

Steps
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix your dry ingredients in a bowl. Melt and mix your wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix them until well incorporated.
Step 2
Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll the cookies into medium shaped balls, and then flatten a bit with your hands into a cookie shape. Push your thumb down in the middle to make a little indent for the PB cups.
Step 3
Bake for 6-12 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom or beginning to crack. Let cool on a wire rack! Eat them as is, or continue on to decorate!
DECORATING!
Put your simple mills paleo vanilla frosting into a ziplock bag, cut tiny tip at the end to squeeze from!
Once cookies are cooled, place a dollop of vanilla frosting in the middle of the cookie where the indent is, and place the PB cup on top.
Squeeze out two dots for the eyes on the front of the PB cups
Place 2 little chocolate chips or cacao pieces in the middle of the frosting dots to make the eyes
Put chocolate frosting (OR you can just mix a few tablespoons of cacao powder with the vanilla frosting!) in another ziplock bag, cut a little tiny hole on the corner, and squeeze chocolate frosting out in lines for the legs.
