Ingredients

1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups sugar (divided)
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
24 Milk Chocolate Lindor Lindt Balls
48 candy eyes
1 (1.25 ounce) tube black gel

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, and peanut butter.
Add eggs, flour, baking soda and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls, roll in additional 1/2 cup sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Use a fork to make a criss-cross design on top.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Once removed from the oven, allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Move the cookies to a cooling rack or paper towel.
While the cookies are still warm, press the chocolate balls into the middle, just slightly pressing down.
Using the black gel, create 4 legs on each side and use small dots of gel to stick the candy eyes on.
Let the cookies cool completely.
Enjoy your spooky treat
