This big spider web cookie is a sweet chocolate chip oatmeal cookie with caramel and chocolate sauces drizzled on top and a cute buttercream spider. It’s a fun Halloween treat.

Tips
- Alternative to a cast iron skillet – while the cast iron skillet adds to the Halloween feel of this cookie, you can also make this in a round cake pan. Just alter the time (usually less) and watch it in the oven.
- Thick frosting – If the frosting is to thick and you’re having an issue piping it, add more cream to thin it out.
- Be creative – you can change out the colors and styles for the top of this cookie
