Rudolph Peanut Butter Cookies
These fun cookies are the perfect treat for Santa on Christmas Eve. Or bring them to a
cookie swap, and they will be the hit of the party. Rudolph’s red nose shines bright with red candy, and
Trucker Treats Pretzels make cute antlers.
Ingredients
- 1 stick Hiland Butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Griffin’s Vanilla
- 1 Hansen’s Egg
- 1 1/3 cups Shawnee Mills Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Red M&Ms
- Brown M&Ms
- Trucker Treats Candy Cane or Cinnamon Toast Pretzels, broken into pieces
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown
sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, beating until smooth. - In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to butter
mixture, beating until incorporated. - Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass jar. Bake about 12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- As soon as cookies are out of the oven, place a red M&M for the nose in each cookie. Place two
brown M&Ms above the nose for the eyes. Insert two pretzel pieces for the antlers.
Note: If the antlers won’t “stick,” use a little piped melted chocolate to hold the pretzels in place.
