What you need to make Nutter Butter Santa Cookies
How to make Nutter Butter Santa Cookies
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Put 3 squares of almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until completely melted.
- Dip one end of each cookie into the melted almond bark covering a little less than half of the cookie to create Santa’s beard. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat for all the cookies.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until almond bark is set.
- Remove from the refrigerator when the almond bark is set.
- The almond bark in the bowl has probably started to set up a bit as well. Reheat it in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
- Dip the other half of the cookie in the melted almond bark, then immediately dip the same end into the red sanding sugar. This is how we create Santa’s hat. Be sure to leave a little white showing for the hat trim.
- For Santa’s face, dip a toothpick in black icing and use it to draw a small mouth and dot two eyes on each cookie.
- Squeeze a white dot of icing on the top of the nutter butter cookie or on the side to make the pom-pom. Each hat can be a little different.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until almond bark and icing are set.
Tips & Tricks
- If you don’t have almond bark, you can also use white chocolate chips or white candy melts.
- Instead of drawing the face, make the eyes by using the almond bark as “glue” to adhere mini chocolate chips or candy eyes.
- Use red hots or a red M&M for Santa’s nose.
