Gift of Cheer- Video Rudolph Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
These Rudolph peanut butter cookies are super easy to make and a fantastic holiday cookie recipe to make everyone happy and full of holiday cheer.
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 an inspired decoration and couldn’t help it but to decorate our cookies in the same way. Rudolph makes us smile, big.

Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (114 g) unsalted Butter (1 stick) , at room temp.
- 1 cup (260 g) creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 cup (220 g) packed Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 cups (156 g) Flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Salt
- 24 M&M's for the noses, we used the peanut ones
- 48 Dark Chocolate Chips for the eyes
- 24 Pretzel Pieces for the antlers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a mixer with a beater blade, mix together 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup peanut butter, and 1 cup brown sugar until fluffy.
- Reduce speed to medium and mix in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt for 20 seconds.
- Stir flour mix into peanut butter mixture until combined. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes to make easier to handle and so they don't spread too much.
- Roll dough into 1 1/2″ balls and place on lined sheet pan 2″ apart. Flatten the balls slightly.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned.
- Immediately place eyes, noses, and antlers into cookies. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
