Serving Size 15

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • White icing in a tube
  • Candy eyeballs

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F.
  • Using parchment paper, line a large cookie sheet.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the peanut butter for a minute.
  • Add in the stick of butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with the peanut butter. Add in the vanilla bean paste and egg. Beat again.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl.
  • With your stand or hand mixer on low, slowly pour the flour mixture  in with the peanut butter and sugar mixture.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop dough out and place onto the cookie sheet 1 inch apart. If you want larger cookies, you can use a full-sized ice cream scoop.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes. Cookies should be firm but not hard and edges should be slightly browned but not overly dark. Allow to cool completely before the final step.
  • To add the mummy face, add icing in a zigzag motion across the cookie. Be sure to leave gaps and to not entirely fill the cookie in with the icing. Add the candy eyeballs (or chocolate chips, M&Ms, or black dots of icing in a pinch) and enjoy!
