Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to flatten each ball slightly.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
-
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cookies are completely cool, use red icing gel to draw Santa's hat on each cookie. Use miniature chocolate chips for the eyes and a miniature marshmallow for the pom-pom on the hat.
-
Allow the icing to set before serving.
