Rudolph Nutter Butters
Rudolph Nutter Butters dipped in a dark chocolate and donned with pretzel antlers. These adorable Rudolph cookies are perfect for cookie platter and holiday charcuterie boards.
These cute holiday reindeer cookies are fantastic fun for children. So easy to dip that everyone will love creating them. Great for cookie boards, charcuterie, and even cookies for Santa himself.
No specialty equipment is needed to make these cookies. Just a few microwave safe bowls. I don’t use melting pots. Just a good old microwave.
Firstly lay out the nutter butters, red M&M’s, candy eyes, and pretzels on a sheet of freezer paper. Parchment paper can also be used. This where you will set the cookie after being dipped.
Melting The Chocolate
Melt the Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl. Melt as directed on the back of the package. Each type of melting chocolate is different.
Dip the nutter butters into the candy melts and then place on a piece of freezer paper shiny side up or parchment paper. Make sure to get all the excess chocolate off by dipping with a spoon and tapping.
Decorating Rudolph Cookies
Quickly place the broken pretzels as antlers. Then add the candy eyes and the red nose for Rudolph. Do this before the chocolate dries. Let the cookies dry for about an hour until everything is set.
TIPS FOR rudolph COOKIES
- Make sure to shake the excess chocolate off the cookies.
- Place the candy eyes, pretzels, and M&M’s while the chocolate is still wet. If it’s dry it won’t stick.
- Use parchment or freezer paper to sent them on for easy lift when dried.
- Break the pretzels just at the cross to come out with the best looking antlers.
You can make these one day ahead. If you make the peanut butter cookies to far in advance they get soft and stale. I like to make them the same day and store in an airtight container.
