Ingredients
- ½ cup cookie butter
- 1 ½ cups Nilla wafers finely crushed (about 30 Nilla wafers)
- 12 mini pretzels
- 24 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 red mini M&M’s
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
MAKE THE COOKIE BALLS
- 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.)
- Fill a one-tablespoon cookie scoop with the mixture and add to the cookie sheet.
- 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.
DECORATE THE COOKIE BALLS
- Break both of the outside pieces of the pretzels off to form antlers and set aside.
- Remove the dough and shape into balls by gently rolling each piece in your hands. Return to the baking sheet.
- Place two mini chocolate chips for the eyes and a red mini M&M for the nose.
- Gently add a piece of pretzel to each side for the antlers. Shape as needed.
- Return to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
