One year my son wanted to buy everyone in his class a present. I suggested we bake them a treat instead. We made these festive cookies using a cookie mix, pretzels, chocolate chips and Red M&M's. —Gretchen Vandenberghe, Toledo, Ohio

1 package (17-1/2 ounces) peanut butter cookie mix

In a large bowl, beat the cookie mix, oil and egg until well combined. Shape into a 7-1/2-in. log; securely wrap log in waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices.

Preheat oven to 350°. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using thumb and forefinger, squeeze each cookie slice at the equator, making a slight indentation on each side of the cookie. Press in pretzels for antlers.
