For the equipment needed, I have a little bad news. The problem with making things like this is that the companies stop making the tools you use. You can still get the cookie molds, but I can no longer find the Celebrate It spider webs.

Simply use this mold instead. You will basically use the cookie mold to cover the Oreos and make a spider web (or spider) to put on top of the covered Oreo. 

You can also EASILY make your own spider webs! I’ve added directions for when you get to that point. You can also use this stamp to make the web. It also looks super easy.

How to Make Spider Web Cookies

In a small microwave bowl, microwave 1 teaspoon shortening. Add 1/3 cup lavender chocolate melts. Stir until completely melted.

Using a Tablespoon, fill 3 of the molds with 2 Tablespoons of the melted Lavendar chocolate.

Place an Oreo cookie on top of the melted chocolate.

Pour additional melted Lavendar chocolate on top of each cookie, up to the top of the mold.

Tap the sides of each mold to release any air bubbles.

Repeat steps 1-5 using each color: orange (as shown below),  green and white.

When you are finished, you will have one dozen cookies, 3 of each color.

Chill for 30 minutes.

Line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside.

Gently pop each cookie out. They will be released from the mold very easily. Place on the lined baking sheet.

Note: As these molds are no longer available, the cookies will not have the web.

You can purchase the spider web molds and make the candy spider webs, placing them on top of each cookie, but you can make your own webs!

Using the black and/or white sparkle gel, make 3 circles on the cookies, mimicking the webs above. Take a toothpick and pull it from the middle to the outside of the cookie 8 times. 

Tip: It’s always a good idea to practice on paper before applying to cookie. It will help your confidence when you’re piping on the cookie!
