Mummy Cookies
Mini peanut butter cup "eyes" eerily peer out from between white frosting mummy wrappings.
Recipe Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup REESE'S Creamy Peanut Butter
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (16-ounce) cans ready-to-spread white frosting or about 3 cups homemade white frosting
40 (about 1 cup) REESE'S Minis Peanut Butter Cups
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat butter and sugar in medium bowl until fluffy. Add peanut butter, beating until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended (dough will be soft). Roll dough into 1-1/2 inch balls; place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. (Cookies spread while baking.)
- Bake 13 to 14 minutes or until cookie is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool several minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
- Transfer frosting to pastry bag with basket weave tip. Pipe diagonal stripes of frosting across cookies to resemble the wrappings on a mummy. Place 2 mini peanut butter cups as eyes; pipe additional stripes in opposite direction, partially covering "eyes" so that the eyes seem to be peering from beneath the wrappings.
Makes about 20 mummy cookies.
