Win the New “No Nuts For Santa” Book and SunButter

Santa, allergic to peanuts? Who knew?

That’s the premise of a charming new children’s picture book, written by Tarra Kiamos Andrews, a former teacher and now stay-at-home mom to two kiddos, one of whom has food allergies. Here are Olivia and Logan, reading their mom’s creation. Of course the main characters share their names!

“I started looking around for holiday books that addressed food allergies for kids,” she explains. “And there are very few. So I wrote one.”

How to win

Good luck and happy baking (and reading!).

Here’s our entry:

SunButter Reindeer Cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 c. SunButter
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. shortening
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Melted nut-free chocolate to pipe on antlers

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine SunButter, sugar, shortening, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg and mix. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the SunButter mixture. Mix until blended.

Form dough into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet.  Bake 8 – 9 minutes, until set.  Remove from oven. When cool, pipe chocolate onto cookies for antlers and eyes. Use a dab of SunButter to adhere the candies as noses!

SunButter Reindeer Cookies Variation

Substitute brown sugar for the granulated sugar and use regular size nut-free chocolate candies for noses; mini nut-free chocolate candies for eyes and chocolate covered mini pretzels for antlers. Press them into the cookies right after removing from oven. Here’s part of our herd (because, according to our younger bakers, there’s only ONE Rudolph.)
