My youngest two boys helped me make these, and when the older three got home from school, their jaws dropped!
I don’t think I’ve ever met a child who could resist a sprinkle cookie!
I made some without the chocolate centers because I have one child who doesn’t really like chocolate…I’m not sure if he’s actually mine!
When my daughter tried a bite, she smiled so big – “It’s peanut butter!!!” Oh yes. Next level sprinkle cookies here.
The addition of peanut butter makes these 10x better than the traditional sprinkle cookie recipes. That paired with the chocolate center?? Best flavor combo ever! I can never resist a chocolate peanut butter dessert.
These would be so fun for a Halloween party for kids or adults! Everyone loves these!

Chewy Halloween Sprinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- sprinkles
- 48 milk chocolate stars (or Hershey's Kiss)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and creamy.
- Add the salt, vanilla, and egg, mixing well to combine.
- Add baking soda and flour and mix just until incorporated.
- Roll cookie dough into 48 equal sized balls (about 1 1/4" each).
- Roll each ball in sprinkles until completely coated.
- Bake on ungreased cookie sheets about 2" apart for 8-10 minutes. Immediately press a chocolate star into the center of each cookie. Allow them to cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack.
- Make sure the chocolate is completely set before storing in an airtight container.
- These freeze well, too!

Can u fill these w icing in the middle after they are done cooking
Stephanie Brubaker says
For sure! Great idea 🙂
Samantha says
Do you think you can make these without peanut butter and keep the recipe the same?
Stephanie Brubaker says
If you leave out the peanut butter just add another 4 TBS of butter 🙂
Samantha says
I ended up keeping the peanut butter in there in hopes it wasn’t too peanut buttery for me. It wasn’t! I used all my Halloween sprinkles, including non perils and sugar sprinkles and they were delicious! I only put sprinkles on the top of the cookies to save sprinkles and there’s no need to cover the bottom. I placed a Hershey star on top of half and a Halloween colored non peril chocolate on the other half. Both were great!

I rarely make recipes that don’t have a bunch of reviews, but these are so cute. And delicious. They turned out great. I will definitely make them again. I went a little heavy with the nonpareils. I liked the look of the sprinkled ones better.
