How to Make Witch Hat Blossom Cookies

Ingredients you’ll need to make Witch Hat Blossoms for Halloween.

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup butter

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Purple food coloring

Purples sprinkles

36 Hershey’s Kisses

Steps For Making Witch Hats

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add the egg, vanilla, and purple food coloring. Beat to combine.

Step 5: Add the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.

Step 6: Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough. Roll each dough ball in the purple sprinkles and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7: Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.

Step 8: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one Kiss into the top of each cookie.

Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips for Making Witch Hats

This is an easy recipe to mix by hand. You don’t need a hand mixer, or stand mixer, but if you have one it definitely makes it easy to cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Just don’t overmix the cookie dough once you add the eggs. And when it comes to adding the dry ingredients, don’t overmix. Stir just until combined.

You can stretch the cookie dough and increase the yield by making smaller cookies. I made nice big cookies for these pictures, but you can make smaller hats if you want. This way you get more chocolate in every bite.

Not a fan of purple? No problem! Use whatever color you’d like to create these Witch Hat Blossom cookies. I think that orange would be a fun color to use too, but purple is a popular color for witch hats so that’s why I went with that. I think the color really pops, and makes these hats nice and festive.

Making Witch Hat peanut butter blossom cookies is a fun treat to make for Halloween. Although you don’t need to limit these cookies to just once a year. Kids love the twist on the standard blossom cookie recipe. I mean who doesn’t like a cute witch hat? And the purple color is pretty for a birthday party, or other fun event. So have fun making these Witch Hat cookies any time of year.
