Description: I thought these were the cutest cookies I've seen in a long time. They are simply a peanut butter cookie with some candy on it. The kids enjoyed sticking the antlers and candy on right as they came out of the oven. I used chocolate covered pretzels, but broken up ones are adorable too.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
48 red M&M's candy
96 miniature semisweet chocolate chips or mini brown M&M's
thin pretzel , broken into 96 1-inch pieces or chocolate covered pretzels
Directions:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees and place rack in center.
- Grease two baking sheets.
- In large mixer bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, and sugars on medium speed until light, about 2 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake, one sheet at a time, until just set and bottoms are golden, 8-10 minutes.
- For each cookie, immediately place 1 red M&M or cherry half in center for nose, 2 chocolate chips for eyes, and 2 pretzel pieces on top of cookie for antlers.
- Transfer cookies on sheets to a wire rack and let cool completely.
