Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Decorations:
- 48 pretzel twists
- 48 Candy eyes
- 24 red M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer or stand up mixer to combine the butter, brown sugar, peanut butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix at medium speed until combined.
- Then add in the egg and mix until the egg is incorporated in the batter.
- Reduce the mixer speed down to low and slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter.
- Use a cookie scoop to roll the batter into approximately 2 tablespoons size balls. Then form each of the balls into triangle shapes. Then place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are just set.
- Remove the cookies and decorate them quickly while the cookies are still warm.
- Use the pretzels to form the antlers at the large size of the triangles on the cookies and use the candy eyes and red M&Ms to make the reindeer faces on each of the cookies.
- Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheets.
- Carefully transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Then the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. Keep a slice of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them soft and moist.
- Use room temperature ingredients for the best results on this recipe and make sure that you use creamy peanut butter for this recipe.
