They are lots of fun to make, they look adorable and even the little ones can do it- with some slight variations to the theme, of course.
First you start with your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe.
Gather a few simple decorative toppings: tiny twist pretzels, chocolate chips and holiday M&Ms.
Roll dough into balls and then press flat as a usual PB cookie.
Then pinch slightly to create the 'reindeer' head shape.
Add a tiny twist pretzel for his antlers,
and chocolate chips for the eyes,
and finally an M&M for the nose!
Piece of cake! Well, cookie, actually.
Bake as called for in your PB recipe, but watch for the cracking of M&Ms-- may be a couple of minutes less.
Enjoy!
