My girlfriend Nicole came over Saturday night to help prepare for our Secret Santa party and watch Christmas movies together. Her Christmas treat were these home make Raindeer Peanut Butter cookies, a recipe she got off of Pintrest. After making a little boo boo, by little I mean mixing up 3/4 of a tablespoon with 3/4 of a cup of baking soda, batch 2 were incredable and super fun to make!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
chocolate-covered mini pretzels
brown and red M&Ms
Directions:
(this recipe makes around 40 cookies)
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2. Combine sugar, peanut butter, shortening, milk and vanilla in bowl. Beat/stir at medium speed untill well blended. Add egg beat/stir until blended.
3. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix until blended.
4. Form dough into 1 inch balls. To make raindeer shape, pinch bottom of the ball to create a point. Flatten with your hand on cookie tray. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on a greased tray.
5. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until set/begining to brown.
6. Remove from oven and immediately press two pretzels into the top of the cookie for the antliers. Press two brown M&Ms for eyes and a red M&M for the nose.
7. Let cool for 2 minutes on the cookie tray and then transfer onto a platter.
