Skill Level:

Beginner

Prep Time:

35 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup REESE'S Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cans (16 oz. each) ready-to-spread white frosting or about 3 cups homemade white frosting
• 40 (about 1 cup) REESE'S Minis Peanut Butter Cups

Directions

1. 1 Heat oven to 350 deg. F.
2. 2 Beat butter and sugar in medium bowl until fluffy. Add peanut butter, beating until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended (dough will be soft). Roll dough into 1-1/2 inch balls; place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. (Cookies spread while baking.)
3. 3 Bake 13 to 14 minutes or until cookie is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool several minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
4. 4 Transfer frosting to pastry bag with basket weave tip. Pipe diagonal stripes of frosting across cookies to resemble the wrappings on a mummy. Place 2 mini peanut butter cups as eyes; pipe additional stripes in opposite direction, partially covering "eyes" so that the eyes seem to be peering from beneath the wrappings. About 20 mummy cookies.
