Ingredients
- 24 Reese’s Frankencups
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Additional ¼ cup sugar for rolling dough
- Black writing gel
- Candy eyeballs
Instructions
-
Place the Reese’s Frankcups in the refrigerator to help cleanly remove from the wax paper and also minimize the melting process.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until well combined.
-
Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
-
Using a large cookie scoop, form 24 dough balls.
-
Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar and place on the cookie sheet, evenly apart.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms start to turn light golden brown. Do not overcook.
-
Meanwhile, carefully unwrap the reese’s from the fridge being careful when removing the wax paper cup.
-
When the cookies are done baking, press the reese’s brown side down into the cup.
-
Place in the fridge to minimize melting.
-
Use the black writing gel to draw frankenstein’s face and gently press the candy eyeballs into the chocolate to complete the cookies.
