Rudolph Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Ask any kid who their favorite reindeer is and chances are that they will answer “Rudolph!” Well, that’s a great choice and is an especially fun one for baking. With a bright red M&M nose, this Rudolph Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe is easy to identify as Santa’s lead reindeer.

The homemade peanut butter cookie recipe we use for these Rudolph cookies is easy to whip together, but if you just want to do the fun part of decorating with your kids, you could start with a refrigerated cookie dough instead. Even little tots are able to help by placing the chocolate chip eyes and M&M noses in place to make these adorable reindeer cookies!

If you plan to make a lot of Rudolph Christmas cookies, it’s helpful to get a bag of ALL red M&Ms (which you can get in bulk on Amazon) or you can use a bag of holiday M&Ms and pick out the half that are red instead of green.
