Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Packed light brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 48 pieces Pretzels
• 48 pieces Mini chocolate chips
• 24 pieces Red M&M's candies

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Roll the dough into 24 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately press two pretzels onto each cookie to form antlers. Place two mini chocolate chips for the eyes and one red M&M's candy for the nose.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Enjoy these adorable Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies!
