Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Use an electric mixer to combine the coconut sugar and eggs until it turns a lighter color and a bit fluffy.
  3. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Mix again until combined.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough into your hands and roll into a smooth ball.
  6. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Use the back of a fork to press down the tops in a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack for about 10 minutes.
  9. Turn the peanut butter cups upside down and press on the tops of the peanut butter cookies.
  10. Since the cookies are still warm, the cups will melt a bit.
  11. Once the peanut butter cups look a bit melted, place two eyeballs onto the peanut butter cups.
  12. Melt the chocolate chips and place them in a small plastic baggie.
  13. Close the baggie and cut off a small corner.
  14. Draw 8 legs on each peanut butter cookie coming out from the peanut butter cup and onto the peanut butter cookie.
  15. Place the cookies in the fridge to set the chocolate.
