📝 Preparation Steps
1
Stir together peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar in a bowl until smooth and a dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.
2
Pulse together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor, 3 to 4 times. Add butter and pulse until butter is the size of peas, 5 to 6 times. Add cream cheese and pulse until dough forms, 10 to 12 times. (Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water if needed to help dough form.) Divide dough into two pieces and wrap in plastic wrap; flatten. Chill at least one hour and up to 2 days.
3
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured work surface. Cut shapes with 3-inch witch hat and bat cookie cutters; place half of each shape, 1/2-inch apart, on prepared baking sheet. Top with peanut butter filling leaving a small border around the edge. Brush edges with water and place a duplicate cutout on top. Crimp edges with a fork.
4
Bake until cooked through, 9 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely. Place a small amount of white frosting in a ziptop bag, snip a very small hole in one corner. Pipe eyes on bats and a band on the witch hats. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
