- Place the reindeer cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to ensure the cookies do not overbake. They should still be soft when removed from the oven.

Notes
- Scoop Them Up: Using a cookie scoop is important to ensure that your peanut butter cookies are all the same size, which will help them bake more evenly.
- Hold Them In Place: Use a bit of peanut butter to secure the reindeer’s eyes, nose, and antlers if needed.
- Refrigerate Them Dough: If you find the cookie dough too soft, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. This can help the cookies hold their shape and make handling them easier.
- Keep An Eye Out: Don’t overbake the cookies, as they may come out hard and dry. You want them lightly browned all over but still soft to the touch.
