Chocolately Peanut Butter Pumpkin cookies

Chocolately Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies

I love peanut butter cookies, they are just soooo yummy! I saw this idea watching food network on one of their Halloween specials, but I don't remember what show it was. My mom has this great cookbook form Better Homes and Gardens. She got the cookbook for free when she signed up for their magazine subscription for Read For the Cure a couple of years ago. Here is the recipe that I used. I'm going to share with you guys my secret to yummy peanut butter cookies: Peter Pan Honey Roasted Peanut Butter! This peanut butter is so good I could eat the whole jar in one sitting!

To make these Halloween themed cookies you'll need Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins. After the cookies come out of the oven before they cool place the Reese's peanut butter pumpkins on top of the warm cookies. The heat from the cookies will melt the pumpkins enough to adhere them to the cookies.

I'm apparently not very good at decorating cookies so I just used flat circle sprinkles in halloween colors for eyes for the pumpkins. When the pumpkins are melted enough to the cookies and your finished decorating them, put them in the fridge to harden the chocolate. Also, if you dont have enough of the peanut butter pumpkins, you can melt semi sweet chocolate and drizzle on top of the other cookies and decorate with halloween sprinkles.

Well I hope you enjoy, (I've already had a few, and they were sooooo good!!) If you try making these, let me know what you think!
