M&M’S Vampire Cookies

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the M&M’S.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. To decorate, spread a thin layer of vanilla frosting on each cooled cookie. Dot a small amount of strawberry jelly on the frosting, then place a mini marshmallow on top. Insert two slivered almonds into the marshmallow to form vampire fangs. Add a drop of pink food coloring to the jelly if desired for a gory effect.
