Ingredients:
1/2 cup soft margarine
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
48 small pretzels
M&M’s plain chocolate candy ( red and green, regular or mini)
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 F.
Beat margarine, peanut butter, sugars, and egg thoroughly.
Mix all dry ingredients (except pretzels and M&Ms) together and blend into margarine mixture.
Roll dough into 24 large balls approximately 1 and 1/4″ in diameter, and 24 smaller balls approximately 1″ (a little less) in diameter.
Position one small ball under one large ball on a cookie sheet, then lightly press down and together to form shape of reindeer.
Press 2 pretzels into the top ball for antlers; add candy pieces for nose and eyes.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove and let cool.
