Reindeer Cookies

Making these cookies is a must around Christmas time. We would make these every year with my mom growing up and they are my favorite. They are just so cute! We always made them with peanut butter dough, but sugar cookies would work just as well if you don't like peanut butter :)

Peanut Butter Dough:
1/2 c butter
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c peanut butter (I used PB2)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all the ingredients up and then form balls of dough
Pinch one side of the dough and elongate it to make the reindeer nose
Add a red m&m to the end of all the noses
Put 2 little pretzels on the head for the antlers
Put on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes
Immediately after you take them out of the oven, using two spoons, reshape the nose
Add chocolate chips for the eyes
Take pictures of them and then eat them
