Here’s a fun and easy recipe for Halloween that is perfect for the spooky season!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chips (or M&M’s for a colorful touch)
• Candy eyes (available at craft stores or online)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Mix until well combined.

3. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips (or M&M’s) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

4. Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough and roll it into balls using a tablespoon. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

5. Add Candy Eyes: Press a few candy eyes into the top of each cookie before baking.

6. Bake: Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
