Ingredient
Creamy peanut butter and dark brown sugar combine to create a rich, caramel-like base that is absolutely addictive. As someone who loves sharing global flavours, I find these North American-style treats a brilliant way to bring some festive cheer to the kitchen without needing professional chef skills.
The secret to those charming ghostly figures lies in the chilling process; keeping the dough cold ensures the shapes stay intact while baking. Once they are coated in a snowy layer of powdered sugar, the contrast with the black icing and candy eyeballs makes them look wonderfully whimsical.
Top Baking Tips
- Avoid overmixing the flour to keep the texture soft and light.
- Use a fan oven at 160°C for an even bake.
- Let the cookies cool completely before adding the sugar to prevent it from melting.
