Ingredients | Halloween Dinner Table

1 cup white sugar

⅔ cup butter, softened

⅓ cup milk

1 egg

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces®)

3 tablespoons melted butter

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces®), or to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat white sugar and 2/3 cup softened butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; mix in 1/3 cup milk, egg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Stir flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into creamed butter mixture until dough is just combined; fold in 1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces. Drop dough, 1 to 2 tablespoons per cookie, onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on pans for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Beat 3 tablespoons melted butter and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until frosting is fluffy and smooth. Frost cookies and decorate with more candy-coated peanut butter pieces.
