How about making a Rudolph cookie with your little ones this Christmas season? Here’s a healthier version of our favorite reindeer cookie made with peanut butter and white whole wheat flour. It’s a frugal recipe with ingredients you probably have on hand. I use chocolate chips for the eyes and grabbed a red candy for the nose. Ideally, a red M & M or skittle would be a more appropriate size, but I use what I have 
I hope you enjoy making these cookies with your kiddos.
