Tried these cookies for Christmas, they turned out pretty good.

My 8 & 10 year Niece's and 5 year old Nephew made these cookies today.

We didn't have the colors called for in the recipe, but they still turned out cute.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 375° F.
2

Combine brown sugar, peanut butter, shortening, milk, and vanilla in your mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg; beat "just blended".
3

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended together.
4

Remove from oven and immediately (and gently) press 2 pretzels into the tops of the cookies for reindeer antlers. Press 2 mini brown M&Ms in for the eyes and one red M&M for Rudolph's nose. If you run out of red M&Ms
5

Using an ice cream scoop scoop out 1 inch balls of cookie dough and place on a parchment lined baking pan. To make reindeer-shaped cookies, pin the bottom of the cookie dough ball slightly to form a pointy triangle shape, then gently flatten with the palm of your hand. Space cookies about 2 inches apart on your baking sheet and bake for 7 - 8 minutes, until set or just beginning to brown.
