I cannot even tell you how easy this recipe for Angel Nutter Butter Cookies is. It’s the perfect holiday cookie if you ask me. No need to heat the oven or chill any dough. Easy for the kids to decorate on their own, with very little supervision (melting the chocolate should be done with an adult). I even think it’s easier than the Christmas Grinch Bark that I make.

If you’re needing to bring cookies to any kind of Christmas party or to make for your child’s class, this is the recipe for you.

Did I mention, it’s a no-bake recipe?

How to Make Angel Nutter Butter Cookies

Vanilla almond bark to melt to cover the cookies.

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with wax paper.

Step 2

Melt white candy according to package directions making sure not to overheat. If the candy gets too hot, it will seize. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to make the melted candy pourable.

Step 3

Dip the pretzel twists in melted candy, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the pretzels on waxed paper until dry. Rearrange the pretzels into pairs for wings.

Using a toothpick dipped into the melted chocolate, draw two half circles on the uncoated portion of each cookie to be the eyes and a larger dot as the mouth. Allow the cookies to dry completely.

Tips, Tricks, and FAQs

  • I used Pineapple Lifesavers for the angels’ halo but feel free to use another color.
  • I prefer to use these candy melts, but melting white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips can be used.
  • Small pretzel twists work best for the wings.
  • Get creative and make your angels different colors by adding a couple of drops of food-safe color gel to the white chocolate.
  • Refrigerate the cookies to help speed up the drying of the chocolate.

    These angel nutter butter cookies just look adorable! I had to give these a try since I knew my kids would love the look (and as it turns out, the taste!), so I made them the other day. My children and I were not disappointed.
