Peanut Butter Rudolph Reindeer


Yield: 48 cookies Prep 40 mins Bake 375°F 8 mins to 10 mins Start to Finish 1 hr 15 mins
Peanut Butter Rudolph Reindeer

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup  unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup  peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup  packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon  pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 48 large red M&M candies
  • 96 mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • Pretzels, broken into 96 1-inch pieces

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F and place rack in center. Grease two baking sheets. In a large mixer bowl beat together butter, peanut butter and sugars on medium speed until light, about 2 minutes. Add egg and extract; beat until combined. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt until a dough forms. Roll into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on prepared sheets.

2. Bake, one sheet at a time, until just set and bottoms are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. For each cookie, immediately place 1 M&M in center for nose, 2 chocolate chips for eyes and 2 pretzel pieces on top for antlers. Transfer cookies on sheets to a wire rack and let cool completely. (Can be made ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, in single layers separated by waxed paper, up to 2 days.)
