How To Make Witch Hat Peanut Butter Cookies for Halloween
See how easy these peanut butter witch cookies are to make with these step by step instructions!
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and purple food coloring. Beat to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients. Beat until well mixed.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough. Roll each dough ball in the purple sprinkles and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the center is cooked but still soft.
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one Hershey Kiss into the top of each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Substitutions & Variations
- Use premade cookie dough. If you’re running short on time or don’t want to make your own cookies from scratch, use store bought cookie dough as a short cut.
- Experiment with different cookie flavors. Use your favorite cookie recipe, add some sprinkles, and the chocolate to create the witch cookies.
- We use purple food coloring but if you’d like to make the cookies another color, just swap out the food coloring. Orange is a fun one too! Same goes for sprinkles!
How to store the easy witch peanut butter cookies
