Peanut Butter Hi Hat Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Make cookies as directed on pouch without pressing with fork; cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets; transfer to cooling rack. Cool another 3 minutes, then place 1 peanut butter cup minis in center of each cookie. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 45 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat softened butter and peanut butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Beat in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Place frosting in decorating bag fitted with tip.
• On top of each cookie, pipe frosting around and over peanut butter cup, getting as much height as possible, making cone shape with peak in center. Place cookies in refrigerator while making chocolate coating, about 15 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and oil uncovered on High 30 seconds, then 10 to 15 seconds, stirring after each interval, until mixture is smooth.
• Dip cone-shaped frosting on each cookie into chocolate coating to coat most of frosting, letting excess chocolate drip off. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Steps:

• Place cookies on work surface; squeeze a dime size dot of frosting in the center of each cookie.
• Unwrap and invert peanut butter cups on frosting, press down gently.
• Let dry overnight or at least 10 - 15 minutes until frosting is set. If drying overnight please store in an airtight container so the cookies do not get soggy.
• Using round piping tip or writing tip, (if you don't have tips you can make your own frosting, put it in a ziplock sandwich bag and just cut the corner of the bag) pipe a hat band (single line) with frosting around the peanut butter cup and a square buckle.
• Let frosting set before storing.
• My son insists we should use yellow frosting so it would be correct but I think the orange that the directions call for looks nicer than yellow.

Steps:

• In a small shallow bowl, combine frosting and food coloring. Remove paper liners from peanut butter cups., Holding the bottom of a peanut butter cup, dip top of cup in yellow frosting. Position over center hole on the bottom of cookie, forming the hatband and crown. Add a buckle of one orange bubblegum bit. Repeat with remaining cups and cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º.
• Mix first six ingredients.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Roll into balls and press down with a fork dipped in sugar or flour.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet (I usually grease my cookie sheet anyway). Ovens vary so your baking time may be less. Just keep an eye on them.
