How To Make pb rudolph the red nosed reindeer cookies

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Step 2
  Combine brown sugar, peanut butter, shortening, milk & vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg; beat until just blended.
• Step 3
  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda & salt. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended.
• Step 4
  Form dough into 1" balls. To make reindeer-shaped cookies, pinch the bottom of the ball slightly to form a point, then gently flatten with your hand. Space cookies about 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet & bake for 7 - 8 minutes, until set or just beginning to brown.
• Step 5
  Remove from oven & immediately (& gently) press 2 mini pretzels into the tops of the cookies for the reindeer's antlers. Press 2 mini brown M&M's in for the eyes & 1 red M&M for the nose.
• Step 6
  Allow to cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet & then transfer to a wire rack or paper towel to cool completely.
