This is a fun cookie project to do with the kiddos, and a great edible display for your upcoming holiday party! The recipe is really very simple. Use your favorite peanut butter recipe, and accompany it with M&M’s (both big and mini) and mini chocolate-covered pretzels. The peanut butter cookie recipe I use is:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Large Red M&M’s
Mini Brown M&M’s
Mini Chocolate Cover Pretzels
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375˚
Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
Beat until creamy the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat again until creamy.
Add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time and mix until combined.
Spoon out the cookie mixture and roll in you hand. Press slightly flat onto cookie sheet and pinch one end (for the nose).
Bake 10-12 minutes.
Right when they come out of the oven lightly press two pretzels for antlers, one large red M&M for a nose, and two mini brown M&M’s for eyes.
Let set, and then enjoy!
