Nutter Butter Reindeer Cookies

Bring these Reindeer Nutter Butters to your next Christmas party, cookie exchange, or classroom celebration and watch them disappear fast! They’re a simple holiday cookie recipe that doubles as a fun family activity for the season.

Ingredients You’ll Need

12 to 14 Nutter Butter cookies

10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers

24 to 28 edible candy eyes

20 mini pretzels (includes extra incase some break)

12 to 14 mini Reese’s cups

12 to 14 red M&M’s

Step by Step Instructions

STEP ONE- Break the pretzels in half to create antlers. Set aside.

STEP TWO – Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

STEP THREE – Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Use a fork to lift it out and gently tap off the excess.

STEP FOUR – While the chocolate is still wet, add two candy eyes near the top of the cookie.

STEP FIVE – Place a mini Reese’s cup (flat side down) toward the bottom half of the cookie. Dip an M&M in melted chocolate and press it onto the Reese’s cup for the nose.

STEP SIX – Dip the bottom ends of two pretzel halves into chocolate, then press them onto the sides of the cookie to make antlers.

STEP SEVEN – Allow cookies to set until the chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.

Storage Instructions

Once the chocolate has firmed up, store cookies in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
