1. Reindeer sugar cookies
These reindeer sugar cookies are a fun and festive holiday treat that’s easy to make with kids. Classic sugar cookies are decorated with chocolate frosting, pretzels, and candies to create adorable reindeer faces perfect for Christmas parties or cookie exchanges.
Servings: 24
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 13-17 minutes
Down time: 5-10 minutes
You will need
• 16 oz sugar cookie dough, precut into squares (I prefer Pillsbury)
• 1 cup chocolate frosting
• 48 pretzel twists
• 48 candy eyeballs
• 24 red M&Ms
To begin, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cookies on the parchment lined baking sheet 2-3 inches apart and bake for 13-17 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely - 5-10 minutes.
Spread frosting over each cookie.
Arrange two pretzel twists at the top of the cookie on each side for the antlers.
Add two candy eyeballs to the center, under the antlers, and a red M&M just under the center of the cookie.
Then repeat with the rest of the cookies
Tips and tricks! For very young children, try swapping the candy eyes/nose out with edible wafer decorations to make them non chokeable.
