Frosting
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces®), or to taste
Cookies
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 egg

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat white sugar and 2/3 cup softened butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; mix in 1/3 cup milk, egg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Stir flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into creamed butter mixture until dough is just combined; fold in 1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces. Drop dough, 1 to 2 tablespoons per cookie, onto a baking sheet.
Step 3

Step 4
Beat 3 tablespoons melted butter and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until frosting is fluffy and smooth. Frost cookies and decorate with more candy-coated peanut butter pieces.
