These Reindeer Cookies are, without a doubt, always the cutest cookies on the holiday cookie platter! Santa won't be able to resist these on Christmas Eve...and neither will your little (and big) elves!
What You'll Need
- 1 (18-ounce) package refrigerated peanut butter or sugar cookie dough
- 48 small pretzel twists
- 48 brown M&M's candies
- 24 red M&M's candies
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cookie dough in freezer for 15 minutes, or until firm.
- Cut dough into 24 slices and place slices 2 inches apart on large ungreased cookie sheets. Pinch in each side to form an hourglass shape.
- Position 2 pretzels at top of each slice to form antlers then create eyes with brown candies and noses with red candies.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

I have made these cookies for many years from my Mr. Food Christmas Cookbook. My son always loved to take them when he had to bring something to a xmas party or gathering. All the kids loved them.

Have made several times and always a hit with kids and adults. I usually just make the face round and don't pinch in the center. They are still adorable looking reindeer

I know I pinched hard enough in the center and they still came out round. Not very reindeer shaped :(
