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.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The coconut flavor is very subtle, and the cookies are so soft and chewy.

These are the best cookies ever! I've made them three times now and they're always a hit. They're so light and fluffy, and the glaze is the perfect touch of sweetness.
