Santa Nutter Butters are the cutest little Christmas cookie to make this holiday season. They are a great project for older kids who may feel they are too grown up for cookie decorating, but these cookies are a piece of art, adorable and cute and full of character. These cookies are great for taking as hostess gifts, or to office parties or share a plates. There really is something fun and festive about eating holiday-themed Christmas cookies.
Makes: 10
Prep: 20 Minutes
Ingredients:
10 nutter butter cookies
10 red m&m’s
10 white candy sprinkle pearls
20 candy eye sprinkles
1 bag red candy melts
1 bag white candy melts
Instructions:
Melt the white candy melts as directed on the package.
Dip the bottom half of the nutter butter into the white candy melts and place on a piece of parchment paper or freezer paper with the shiny side up. Stick the m&m’s on each for the nose.
Melt red candy melts as directed on the package.
Using a small pastry brush, brush on red candy melts to the top of the nutter butters. Place the white pearls on the edge for the ball of the hat.
Using some of the white candy melts add a little to the back of the eye candy and place onto the nutter butter. Repeat this to add all the eyes.
Let dry and then serve!
These nutter butter Santa’s are great for gifting or hanging on the Christmas tree, one biscuit wrapped up in a small bag is a great little gift to hand out to neighbors,friends, or loved ones. I hung mine to the Christmas tree in little bags.
