Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies image

I found this recipe in a small Pillsbury recipe booklet that you pick up near the register at the grocery store. I was looking for some new baking treats for Halloween and these worked out perfect with my theme. I paired them with "Three Not So Blind Mice" and everyone thought it was too cute. To make the grass you toss some coconut with green food coloring diluted. The recipe did not call for the green frosted leaves on the pumpkins but I wanted to add the color and complete the "pumpkin patch" with this touch of frosting.
