Rudolph Cookie Butter Balls

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the crushed Nilla wafers and cookie butter using a fork until it reaches a crumb-like consistency. (The best way to crush Nilla wafers into very fine crumbs is in a food processor or blender.)

Step 3

Fill a one-tablespoon cookie scoop with the mixture and add to the cookie sheet.

Step 4

Pop the cookie sheet in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, allowing the dough to firm up. You can speed this up by placing the cookie balls in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Break both of the outside pieces of the pretzels off to form antlers and set aside.

Step 6

Remove the dough and shape into balls by gently rolling each piece in your hands. Return to the baking sheet.

Step 7

Place two mini chocolate chips for the eyes and a red mini M&M for the nose.

Step 8

Gently add a piece of pretzel to each side for the antlers. Shape as needed.

Step 9

Return to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
