Ingredients: 2 sticks butter, 1 cup powdered
sugar, 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour,
1 egg, 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, mini M&M candies,
1/4 cup chocolate chips (melted) and orange candy confetti
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line several baking
sheets with foil and set aside. Using a mix on medium speed, bet
butter and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in flour,
egg and zest until a dough forms. Fill a pastry bag fitted with
a large round writing tip with dough. Pipe cross patterns onto
cookie sheet (there will be three strips, each about 4 inches).
First make one strip, then make a strip over it (like a plus sign
in addition), then a third strip over both strips (forms a star).
Then connect the tip of each strip to the next strip and then
in the middle of the cookie -- this forms the web. Note: These
are very delicate, fragile cookies. Add a mini M&M (body of
spider) and two color confettis (eyes).

and let set.
Add chow mein noodles for the spider's legs.
