In today’s times, let’s not forget the joy from a simple hug, smile, phone call and cheer. We all can certainly use a gift of love and laughter, regardless of what our circumstances are. We want to share a moment here, a gift of holiday spirit because we, Diane and Todd, have been longing for something bright, fun and festive over this last week.
We sincerely wish you all, the warmest of the holiday season, with continued love, family, health and friendship. Without the joy that you bring to us everyday, we wouldn’t be here today.
So in the spirit of eating, calorie hoarding and more cookies, we’re adding to the pile of sweets because cookies just make us happy. And hopefully with these Rudolph cookies, we’ll be reminded of the eternal light of compassion, friendship, community and joy that resonates this holiday.
We have our own favorite peanut butter cookie recipe, but found this inspired decoration and couldn’t help it but to decorate our cookies in the same way. Rudolph makes us smile, big.
Enjoy the video, the cookies, Rudolph and his friends. And we’re sending our love to you all this holiday season.
Merry Christmas to you all. xoxo
love,
todd, diane, sierra and lexi
Video: Rudolph & Friends Cookies
Rudolpoh and his other Friends. Can’t waste those other M&M colored candies.
Chomp. Rudolph is super delicious.
Yield: about 24 Cookies
Reindeer idea inspired from Ladies Home Journal. We recommend only baking one sheet pan at a time, since you need to quickly place the facial features into the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven and before they have a chance to set. Also have you eyes, noses, and antlers ready before you start baking so you aren't scrambling when the cookies come out of the oven.
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted Butter, at room temp.1 cup (260g) creamy Peanut Butter1 cup (220g) packed Brown Sugar1 Egg1 teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Extract1 1/2 cups (187g) Flour1 teaspoon (5g) Baking Powder1/2 teaspoon (3g) SaltM&M's for the noses, we used the peanut onesDark Chocolate Chips for the eyesPretzel Pieces for the antlersPreheat oven to 375°F. Line sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a mixer with a beater blade, mix together butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and mix in egg and vanilla extract.In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt for 20 seconds. Stir into peanut butter mixture until combined.Roll dough into 1 1/2" balls and place on lined sheet pan 2" apart.
