PEANUT   BUTTER   CREEPY   CRAWLIES

Yields: about 36 cookies 


2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon baking powder 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
3/4 cup sugar 
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter 
1 egg 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
Mini pretzel twists 
Mini chocolate chips 
Black, brown, and orange sprinkles (optional) 
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking 
powder, and salt. In a large bowl, with an 
electric mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, 
butter, and peanut butter until light and 
fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer 
on lowest speed, gradually add the flour 
mixture and mix until blended. Shape dough
 into 2 logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and 
refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

To make snakes: Break off a piece of 
dough and roll into a ball about 1 1/2
 inches in diameter. Then roll into a
 snake about 5 inches long, making the 
head end slightly larger than the tail.
 Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
 Use the tines of a fork to press markings
 along the snake. Use a small piece of
 pretzel for the tongue and chocolate
 chips for the eyes. Decorate body with
 sprinkles, if desired.

To make beetles: Roll a piece of dough 
into a ball about 1 inch in diameter and
 flatten slightly. Place 2 pretzels on 
work surface, pointed ends touching.
 Place dough on top and press into 
pretzels. Use a smaller ball of dough to 
form the head and pieces of pretzel to 
make antennae. Place on an ungreased 
baking sheet and make ridges with a fork.
 Use chocolate chips for the eyes.

Bake snakes 8 to 10 minutes and beetles
 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
