Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Take your PB&J game to the next level with Rudolph sandwiches that will make you the envy of the lunch table.
1 peanut butter & jelly sandwich
8 raisins
broken pretzels
half cherry
Prepare a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (you can use toasted or untoasted bread). Cut the sandwich on the diagonal to form two triangles.
Place the triangles with a point facing towards you. Place two raisins towards the top for eyes (you can use a little peanut butter to help them "stick" to the sandwich).
Insert 6 raisins (3 per side) into the sandwich so they are partially sticking out. Add broken pretzels as the antlers (you can either insert them into the sandwich or adhere them with more peanut butter). Place a cherry half on top of the sandwich, under the eyes, for the nose.
Serve the Rudolph sandwiches immediately.
Get creative with different types of bread and spreads to create unique Rudolph sandwiches.
If serving young children, make sure to ask about any allergies to nuts before using peanut butter.
For a healthier alternative, use whole grain bread, natural peanut butter, and a low-sugar jam.
Experiment with different ingredients for the eyes, antlers, and nose.
Any type of bread can be used for Rudolph sandwiches, whether it's white, wheat, whole grain, or even gluten-free bread.
You can use almond butter, sunflower seed butter, Nutella, or any other spread you prefer instead of peanut butter.
You can use mini chocolate chips, small candies, dried blueberries, or even small pieces of marshmallows for the eyes on the Rudolph sandwiches.
You can use pretzel sticks, small pieces of dried fruit, sliced almonds, or even small pieces of celery as an alternative to pretzels for the antlers.
If you are making untoasted sandwiches you can make them up to 8 hours in advance (keep them refrigerated). Toasted sandwiches tend to dry out if made in advance.
You can make a Rudolph sandwich with just peanut butter if you prefer or use a different type of jelly or jam.
If you have any leftover Rudolph sandwiches, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. However, they are best enjoyed fresh.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
