Time 4h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Assorted candies, if desired
String, if desired
3 cups powdered sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, shortening and egg until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 3x2-inch ghost-shaped cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place shapes about 2 inches apart. If cookies are to be hung as decorations, cut a hole at top of each cookie with end of plastic straw or sharp knife; cut out holes for eyes if desired.
  • Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until light brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth and spreading consistency. Spread glaze on cookies. Decorate with candies. Thread string through holes to hang cookies.

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste, but I think that's because I overbaked them.
