Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well blended.
- 4. Gradually add the flour mixture and cocoa powder. Beat to form a smooth dough.
- 5. Roll a tablespoon-sized ball of dough, and place it on a baking sheet. Arrange eight pretzel sticks around the ball like spokes on a wheel. Press the tips of the pretzel sticks firmly into the dough ball. Continue with the rest of the pretzels and dough.
- 6. Bake until cookies start to brown around edges, about 7-10 minutes.
- 7. Lift the cookies from the baking sheets with a spatula, and place on wire cooling racks. Let cool completely. Place the racks on sheets of aluminium foil or waxed paper.
- 8. In a double boiler (or the microwave), melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil.
- 9. Pour the melted chocolate over each cookie. Coat with chocolate sprinkles. Press in two red candy eyes on the front of the head. Eeek!

[email protected]These cookies were a little bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding a little bit of milk or water to the batter next time.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate chips help to balance out the peanut butter flavor, and the cookies are nice and crispy.
