Peanut Butter Reindeer 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:

• Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). In medium bowl, mix cookies as directed on package, using oil, water and egg.
• Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls 2 inches apart. Dip bottom of drinking glass in sugar; press each ball until about 1/2 inch thick.
• Pinch bottom edge of each cookie to form a longer point. At point of each cookie, place 1 chocolate chip for nose; press down slightly. Place 2 chocolate chips on each cookie for eyes; press down slightly. With small sharp knife, cut star points from Christmas pretzels to form 48 small V-shaped pretzels (if using pretzel sticks, cut into quarters). Press 2 pretzel pieces into top of each cookie for antlers.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

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.
