3/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon l.c. finns vanilla extract
1 egg
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate-covered mini pretzels
Mini brown M&Ms
Regular-sized red M&Ms
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine brown sugar, peanut butter, shortening, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg; beat until just blended.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended.
Form dough into 1-inch balls. To make reindeer-shaped cookies, pinch the bottom of the ball slightly to form a point, then gently flatten with your hand. Space cookies about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until set or just beginning to brown.
Remove from oven and immediately (and gently) press two mini pretzels into the tops of the cookies for the reindeer's antlers. Press two mini brown M&Ms in for the eyes and one red M&M for the nose.
Allow to cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack or paper towel to cool completely.
Makes about 40 reindeer cookies.

Cranberry chicken
Cranberry Chicken
Recipe modified from wellplated.com
One Pan Cranberry Chicken. Juicy chicken with a sticky cranberry glaze. Sweet, tangy and ready in only 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
FOR THE CHICKEN
- 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
FOR THE CRANBERRY GLAZE
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 tablespoons minced shallot
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen, thawed cranberries, rinsed
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon l.c. finns ginger extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, for serving
Directions:
- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and place on a plate or tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let come to room temperature while you prepare the glaze.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the shallot and sauté until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the cranberries, water, cider vinegar, and honey. Cook until the berries soften and begin to lose their shape, 5-8 minutes. Stir often so that the berries cook on all sides and much of the liquid cooks away. Once soft, roughly smash the berries with the back of a wooden spoon so that they burst, then stir in the ginger, salt, and allspice. The mixture will be very thick.
- Transfer the cranberry glaze to a bowl. With a paper towel, carefully wipe the skillet clean, then heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Once hot and shimmering, add the chicken thighs in a single layer, seasoning-side down. Let the chicken cook for 5-7 minutes undisturbed, until the first side is golden brown and does not stick to the pan. For the best browning, try not to move the chicken around in the pan as it cooks. Flip the chicken over, then cook it an additional 4-6 minutes, until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 degrees F. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and spoon the cranberry glaze over the top. Let rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped fresh thyme, and serve with extra cranberry glaze for dipping.

Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups milk, heated to 115 degrees F
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. l.c. finns cardamom extract
- 2 packages (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 6½ C flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. heavy cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp. l.c. finns coffee extract
- pearl sugar or crushed Belgian waffle sugar, optional
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it registers 115 degrees F on a thermometer. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, along with the sugar, yeast, and cardamom extract. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, so that the yeast blooms and becomes foamy.
- Add in the eggs and mix to combine. Add the salt and flour, and mix until a dough forms. Switch to the dough hook, and knead on medium speed for 2 minutes. Drop to low speed, and add the butter one piece at a time, allowing it to fully incorporate before adding the next piece. Once all the butter has been added, knead for an additional 4 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 60 minutes, or until doubled in size. Punch the dough down, recover, and allow to rise 30 minutes more.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the dough on a work surface, and divide in half. Set aside one half, and cover with a tea towel. Divide the first half into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope. To braid, place the 3 pieces side by side. Pinch the ends farthest away from you together. Bring the left rope up and across the middle rope, and lay it down next to the right rope. Bring the right rope up and over what is now the middle rope, and lay it down next to the inside of what is now the left rope. Continue in this fashion until you reach the end. Tuck the ends underneath the braid and transfer to one of the baking sheets.
- If making buns, divide the remaining dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll into balls, and place on the second baking sheet. Cover both the braid and the buns with tea towels and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolk, and coffee extract. Brush over the top of the buns and braid, and sprinkle with the sugar, if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving with coffee.
