Add 1 cup powdered sugar into a small bowl with black food coloring.

Add 1 cup powdered sugar into a second small bowl with purple food coloring (red and blue).

Slowly add up to 2 teaspoon water into each bowl and stir with a fork or whisk until icing is smooth, but thick. You want it pourable, but not runny.

In a third bowl add 1 ½ cups powdered sugar and slowly add 2 to 2 ½ teaspoon water.

Stir with a fork or whisk until icing is smooth, but thick. You want it pourable, but not runny.

Pour each icing into its own resealable bag and squeeze icing into one corner. Snip a tiny piece of the corner of the bag off and place each bag in a glass, cut tip side down.

Place 1 cookie on work surface.

Start with the white icing and pipe an outline of a circle along the edge of the cookie. Once outline is done, fill in center with white icing.

Use a toothpick or bamboo skewer to spread icing evenly.

Start at the center of the cookie and pipe a swirl of purple or black for the web. Turn and spiral the icing outwards towards the edge of the cookie.

Using a toothpick or bamboo skewer, place the tip at the center of the cookie and drag it out through the icing toward the edge of the cookie. Continue doing this throughout the cookie until your web is formed and complete.

While the icing is wet, place 1 raisin, for the spider’s body anywhere on the cookie.

Place 4 chocolate jimmies on one side of the raisin for the spider’s legs and 4 more on the other side.

Using white icing, add two tiny dots for eyes and let cookie dry.

Continue icing the other cookies.

Allow icing to cool completely before handling, about 1 hour.
