Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
• ½ cup shortening (or 1 stick of regular Crisco)
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 bag of Flipz chocolate-covered pretzels
• 2 tube containers of Mini brown M&Ms
• 2 small bags of Regular-sized red M&Ms - for the Rudolph Nose

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Combine brown sugar, peanut butter, shortening, milk, and vanilla in your mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg; beat just blended.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended together.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 1-inch balls of cookie dough and place on a parchment lined baking pan. To make reindeer-shaped cookies, pinch the bottom of the cookie dough ball slightly to form a pointy triangle shape, then gently flatten with the palm of your hand. Space cookies about 2 inches apart on your bakin sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until set or just beginning to brown.
• Remove from oven and immediately (and gently) press two chocolate covered pretzels into the tops of the cookies for reindeer antlers. Press two mini brown M&Ms in for the eyes and one red M&M for the Rudolph nose. If you run out of red M&Ms for the noses, you could use brown and green M&Ms too.
• Allow to cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack or paper towel to cool completely.
• Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
