Peanut Butter Reindeer Treats Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat butter, sugar, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir flour and baking soda into creamed butter mixture until well incorporated.
• Roll dough into 36 balls. Flatten each ball and shape into an upside-down triangle. Press two pretzels into the two top corners of each triangle for the antlers. Press two chocolate chips into the center of each triangle for the eyes, and one chocolate chip or M&M on the bottom of the triangle for the nose. Arrange cookies on baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread crackers with peanut butter for "reindeers' heads." Add raisins for "eyes," cherry halves for "noses" and pretzel twist pieces for "antlers."

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Beat margarine, peanut butter, sugars, and egg thoroughly.
• Mix all dry ingredients (except pretzels and M&Ms) together and blend into margarine mixture.
• Roll dough into 24 large balls approximately 1 and 1/4" in diameter, and 24 smaller balls approximately 1" (a little less) in diameter.
• Position one small ball under one large ball on a cookie sheet, then lightly press down and together to form shape of reindeer.
• Press 2 pretzels into the top ball for antlers; add candy pieces for nose and eyes.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Remove and let cool.
• Ideas: Red nose for Rudolph, brown for everyone else, and arrange in front of toy sled for edible centerpiece on kids' table.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees and place rack in center.
• Grease two baking sheets.
• In large mixer bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, and sugars on medium speed until light, about 2 minutes.
• Add egg and vanilla 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 baking sheets.
• Bake, one sheet at a time, until just set and bottoms are golden, 8-10 minutes.
• For each cookie, immediately place 1 red M&M or cherry half in center for nose, 2 chocolate chips for eyes, and 2 pretzel pieces on top of cookie for antlers.
• Transfer cookies on sheets to a wire rack and let cool completely.
