Cookie Sheet
Oven
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup peanut butter chips
- Sprinkles/candy eyes to decorate
Preheat oven to 350
Combine cocoa powder, sugar, flour, salt, baking soda in a bowl and whisk or sift together In a smaller bowl, combine egg, oil, vanilla. Whisk together and stir into dry mixture Stir until mixture clumps together into a dough (it will be oily)
Add peanut butter chips and spooky sprinkles and combine
Using wet hands, form into roughly 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet (I prefer a silicone baking mat) Press candy eyes, additional sprinkles and/or additional peanut butter chips onto the tops of the cookies Bake at 350 for 9 minutes (cookies will be very soft)
Remove cookies from oven, press them down with the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten them a bit, return to oven for 2 minutes
Let cool and enjoy!
Store in airtight container (they get softer and taste even better the next day)
