Making and decorating these Halloween cookies is a breeze.
STEP 1
Combine the dry flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
STEP 2
Cream together the butter and both sugars until lighter in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until everything is thoroughly combined.
Mix in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
STEP 3
Stir in the dry ingredients and mix well.
STEP 4
Scoop onto baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely before decorating.
STEP 5
Heat the marshmallows in the microwave for 10 seconds, working with 1/4 cup at a time. The marshmallows will not be melted, just warmed enough to stretch.
STEP 6
Take one marshmallow and gently pull it apart to create strands that can be laid on the cookie. You might need two or three marshmallows to decorate a single cookie. Once you’ve added as many marshmallow strands as desired, place two candy eyes on the cookie. Continue this process with all the cookies. Enjoy!
