Black Cat Cookies Recipe

1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup water
2 eggs
1 (18.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
MM's plain candies
Red-hot candies

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, eggs, and water. Gradually add the cake mix and mix well.

Form the dough into 1-1/2-inch balls. Place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet and flatten with the bottom of glass dipped in sugar. With your fingers, pinch out 2 ears at top of cookie. Add the MM's for the eyes and red-hots for the nose. Press the tines of a fork into the dough on either side of face to form the whiskers.

Bake the black cat cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
