Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Cookies

  • 17.5 oz Peanut butter cookie mix We like the Betty Crocker mix.
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ cup Peanut butter Creamy

Decorations for Rudolph

  • 24 Pretzel twists
  • 24 M&Ms brown (or chocolate chips)
  • 12 M&Ms red
  • cup Peanut butter Creamy

Instructions
 

Make Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Mix all cookie mix, oil, water, egg, and peanut butter in large mixing bowl. Stir in mixer bowl until dough forms.
  • Roll dough into 12 balls and spread 2-3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Using a fork, flatten each cookie and make a criss-cross pattern across the top.
  • Bake 12-14 minutes and allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the tray before moving them carefully to a cooling rack to completely cool on a wire rack.

Decorate Rudolph Faces

  • Using the end of a toothpick or end of a wooden spoon, dab a tiny bit of peanut butter onto the nose area of a cooled cookie and add one red M&M. Dab two small dots of peanut butter and place either two brown M&Ms or two chocolate chips (upside down). Do the same with the pretzel antlers. Repeat with all cookies.
  • *Carefully place each cookie on a flat surface and serve.

Notes

*Make sure cookies are stored/served on a flat tray and do your best not to move/transport around too much as the decorations may shift and fall off. If possible, do not decorate until you are ready to serve the cookies.
