Halloween Cookies
These Halloween Cookies are just sooooo delicious and lots of halloween fun. Rather unbelievably it was my first foray into peanut cookies but I fell in love with them completely and utterly at first crunch. They were one of the most yummy cookies I had ever eaten and so simple anyone could make these craggy beauties.
