Peanut Butter Butterfinger Skull Cookies start with a soft and chewy from scratch peanut butter cookie then are topped with a spooky, decorated Butterfinger Peanut Butter Skull Cup. Perfect for any Halloween party!
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 ¼ cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup light brown sugar
Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.
2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
In thirds, pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring between each addition.
Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
While the dough is chilling, use the colored icings to decorate the skull cups.
When ready, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Scoop dough (approx. 1.5 Tablespoons) into a ball and roll between your hands. Press them down with the palm of your hand to flatten. They will be large so only do 9 per pan.
Bake for 8-9 minutes or until golden.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, press a decorated Butterfinger Peanut Butter Skull Cup into each.
