And the Reese’s Pieces give them that extra burst of peanut butter goodness! The cookies have a delicious soft texture. Not only do the cookies look spooky awesome, they also taste delicious! I LOVE peanut butter cookies! I used 1 package of candy eyes – Some of my cookies had 2 eyes, some had 3 eyes, and the last dozen had no eyes because… well… I only bought 1 package. The cookies are just as delicious without eyeballs! Or you can just not put eyeballs into ALL of your cookies. You’ll need to buy 2 packages of candy eyes if you want more eyes than that in your cookies. If you have one package of the regular sized eyeballs, you should have enough for 2 eyeballs per cookie. Soft, peanut butter cookie goodness!Īs soon as you take them out of the oven, press the candy eyeballs into the hot cookies. So when my cookie came out of the oven, this is what they looked like. I haven’t tried it, but I’ve read that the candy eyes will melt in the oven.
This is important – Do NOT add the candy eyeballs until AFTER the cookies bake. I just pushed them down a little bit so they would spread more – my dough balls were still about 1″ high. Roll out the dough into 1.5″ little balls (slightly flattened) and place them 3″ apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.įlatten the balls just a little bit so they aren’t completely round. Mmmm… doesn’t the dough look delicious!? Yum! Or maybe use milk chocolate chips instead? The regular chocolate chips seem to give it a bitter taste? So I’m going to list the chocolate chips as “optional” and you can decide if you want to include them. I think next time I bake these cookies, I’ll leave out the chocolate chips. Maybe it’s all the peanut allergies these days? I get my Reese’s Pieces at the bulk store, but you can sometimes find them in the baking aisle at the grocery store. Some people have said they have trouble finding Reese’s Pieces. I used the regular/medium sized candy eyes for these cookies (as opposed to the “mini” or “large”). I get mine at the bulk store, but I’ve seen them at Michael’s as well. You can get candy eyes wherever they sell Wilton supplies. smooth peanut butter (not crunchy or natural).

The full printable recipe is at the end of this post, but here’s a list (including affiliate links) of what you’ll need: This recipe is a keeper! Even though it’s all kitschy with the eyeballs for Halloween, make sure you save the recipe for the rest of the year! The cookies taste amazing with or without the eyeballs! Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Eyeball Cookies I think they might be my favourite cookie? The store bought ones taste so good, and it’s taken me years to perfect a homemade recipe that tastes just as good! There is nothing more satisfying than baking something that makes everyone smile! But with “Halloween baking” you can add as many or as few candy eyes as you like and you end up with cookies (or whatever…) that are fun and ever so slightly creepy. So these aren’t exactly cookies for anyone serious! But Halloween baking needs to be more of a “thing” because there are so many totally awesome treats you can make that are only appropriate during a 6 week time period.Ĭan you add candy eyes to Christmas baking? No. Actually, maybe “seriously” isn’t the right word? I mean, we are using candy eyes here to make cookies that look like monsters. Soft, chewy and delicious!Įveryone gets excited about Christmas baking, but I think Halloween baking should be taken more seriously. And even more importantly – they taste sooooooo good! The cookies are thick and golden on the outside with a nice soft texture on the inside. When else do you get to make cookies that have eyeballs in them!? These Reese’s Pieces peanut butter eyeball cookies are so much fun.
