7. 10. 2025

Christmas cookies don’t always have to be in the shape of wheels, stars, or rolls. Not only children will love these Christmas reindeer.

Ingredients:

Dough

• 1 and 1/2 cups plain flour
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Decoration

• halves of pretzels for antlers
• lentils or other red candies for noses
• candy eyes or chocolate chip eyes
• chocolate topping

Method:

1. In a food processor, beat the peanut butter, regular butter, and sugar until fluffy.
2. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Mix the sifted plain flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
4. Gradually add this mixture to the peanut butter until thoroughly combined.
5. Roll the resulting dough into balls approximately two centimeters in size and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
6. Flatten the balls and press slightly in the middle to shape the peanut candy into a reindeer head.
7. Finally, press the pretzels to make the antlers.
8. Preheat the oven to 356°F and bake for 10 minutes until golden.
9. Allow to cool, and then draw a mouth with chocolate frosting. Use the frosting to “glue” the eyes and nose.
