Ingredients • 1 cup (225 g) cold butter, cut into small cubes • 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar • 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter (use Jif or Skippy) • 2 large eggs • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract • 2 ¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking soda • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) baking powder • ⅛ teaspoon (pinch) salt • 4-5 cups (500-625 g) reindeer food (from the previous recipe) • 2 cups (300 g) holiday blend M&Ms (optional) • ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar for dusting (optional) Instructions 1 Cream Butter and Sugars In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. 2 Add Wet Ingredients Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined. 3 Incorporate Dry Ingredients Gradually fold in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until the dough comes together. 4 Mix in Add-Ins Stir in the reindeer food and, if desired, the holiday blend M&Ms. 5 Chill the Dough Cover the dough and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This step helps keep the cookies thick and prevents spreading. 6 Preheat and Prep Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large, light-colored baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 7 Portion the Dough Scoop the dough into large 5-6 ounce (140-170 g) balls, about the size of a small baseball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between them. 8 Bake the Cookies Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are set and golden but the centers remain slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool. 9 Finishing Touches Remove the cookies from the oven and, if desired, press a few peanut butter chips onto the tops while still warm. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 10 Optional Dusting Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a festive finish. Storage Instructions • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. • Freezer: Place cookies in a gallon-sized freezer bag and store for 2-3 months. Tips for Perfect Cookies 1 For Extra Mix-Ins: Add ¼-½ cup (30-60 g) of peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts for additional flavor and texture. 2 Keep Them Thick: Chilling the dough is crucial. It solidifies the fat, reducing spread. Large cookie dough balls also help achieve bakery-style thickness. 3 Festive Options: Swap the holiday M&Ms with themed colors for other occasions or add sprinkles for extra cheer. Enjoy your festive and delicious cookies! 🎄🍪
