I found this recipe in this magizine.. They tell you how to make it from scratch but me I found it a lot simpler to just buy the premade cookie dough. But I buy the premaid peanut butter cookie dough. Then I make those. Get the red and green M&Ms use the red ones for noses. EAt the Green ones while you make them:) Then you melt chocolate chip cookies. Us a toothpick dip that in the chocolate sauce and put two eyes on the cookies for the eyes. Then break the pretzels not the stick ones the other ones. But make sure they are not the really really big ones. And put them on top of the cookie above the eyes. And then you have Roudolph Peanut Butter Cookies. The kids love them even the Adults. I only added not to use the really really big pretzels because once I told my brother I needed pretzels for the cookies and he buys them. I hope the instructions werent a little wierd. If so let me know I will try and put them into simpler form. :p Enjoy!

Ok you get the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and you make it like it says on the package as if you are going to be cutting shapes in it. Then separate it in half. One you are going to leave as is and the other you are going to add 3/4 tsp peppermint extract and green food coloring Then you are going to make a "rope" out of both cookie mixes (roll it out long ways) and twist them around eachother. Now you can leave them as a stick or you can make a candy cane out of them by curving the top. And bake like the package says.
