Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 8-10 pretzels
- 24 red M&Ms
- 48 mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- First things first: preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This ensures your cookies don’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, Biscoff cookie butter, sugar, salt, and eggs. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, blend everything until the dough is smooth and well-mixed.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop. Place each portion on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the tops with the back of a spoon or your fingers—these will be your reindeer faces!
- Now for the fun part: press two pretzel halves into the top of each cookie to create reindeer antlers. Don’t worry if they’re a little wonky—it just adds personality!
- Pop the cookies into your preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them; you want them soft and slightly underbaked for that chewy texture.
- Once out of the oven, press a red M&M into the center of each cookie for the nose. Add two mini chocolate chips above the nose to make those adorable eyes. The warmth will help the candies stick perfectly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once they’ve set, they’re ready to be devoured—or packaged up as the cutest homemade holiday gift!
