Pre-baby, I used to love to bake. I still enjoy it, but now it just seems like such a hassle. It's messy, it requires time and energy, and it's not so easy to do with a fast-paced 11 month old hanging off your leg. I was browsing Pinterest one day and came across this awesome recipe for adorable reindeer cookies. I bought some peanut butter, pretzels (plain, though- couldn't find the chocolate covered ones) and M&Ms since I already had the rest of the ingredients on hand. But when it was time to actually make the cookies, suddenly the recipe seemed too complicated. I did a quick google search and came across this recipe. I did a little improvising, though, and used half brown sugar and half white sugar instead of all white. So, here's the Pinterest version:
and here's how mine turned out:
I took some to the ladies at daycare as an end-of-the-year thank you, sent some with my hubby to take to his work, and brought a plate for my coworkers, too. Everyone said they were both cute and yummy, and one of the daycare workers asked for the recipe. I'd call that a success. Mix together two things I love - Pinterest and peanut butter - and you can't go wrong! Merry Christmas. :)
