Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Ina large bowl, cream 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and the almond extract, pudding mix, and egg in your cauldron until well blended.
Lightly spoon flour into the measuring cup.
By hand, bit by bit, stir in the flour and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until well blended.
Chant your favorite spell while you stir; it makes the time pass more quickly.
Shape into 1-inch balls, and roll in the eye of newt (pecans or walnuts also work nicely, if you like them).
Place 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.
With thumb or wand, make imprint in center of each cookie.
Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until edges are light brown.
Let cool completely.
In a smaller cauldron, combine all filling ingredients until smooth, and place a very scant teaspoon of this filling onto the center of each cookie. Top with a witch's hat.
