Reindeer cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 125g of butter or 120ml of vegetable oil
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 ¹/₃ cup plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 48 coloured chocolate buttons
- 96 mini chocolate chips pretzels
Preheat oven to 175°C.
Break pretzels into pieces to use as antlers.
Cream together peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Whisk together flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, beating until incorporated.
Roll into 1.5 cm balls and place on a cookie sheet several inches apart. Sprinkle with sugar and gently make an indentation slightly off the centre of each cookie.
Bake 12-14 minutes.
After baking, immediately place a chocolate button in the indentation of each cookie. Insert 2 chocolate chips (pointy side down) above the chocolate button to be the eyes.
Insert 2 pretzel pieces to be the antlers. If the antlers won’t stick, place some chocolate chips in a sandwich bag, microwave 30 seconds and knead until soft. Clip the very tip of the corner and pipe onto cookie to act as glue.
