This is one cookie recipe I especially enjoy making. My grandchildren love the graham cracker taste and the cute reindeer shape. I like that they're so quick and easy to assemble!

Reindeer Cookies Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
25 25

Ingredients

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 6 whole graham crackers, halved
  • 24 milk chocolate chips
  • 12 red-hot candies
  • 12 miniature pretzels

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine sugar, vanilla and enough cream to reach a spreading consistency; cover and set aside. Using a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion, cut graham crackers diagonally in half, forming two triangles.
  • Frost one triangle. With frosted triangle on bottom, overlap triangles so the shortest side of unfrosted triangle runs along the longest cut edge of frosted triangle; match smallest points of crackers to form the nose. The remaining narrow points of both crackers from the ears (see photo below).
  • Frost top cracker. Gently press on chocolate chip eyes and a red-hot nose. Using the serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion, cut pretzels in half to form antlers; press onto ears. Place on wire rack until set. Yield: 1 dozen.

    Editor's Note: It is a good idea to have a few extra graham crackers and pretzels on hand because they break easily when cut.

I actually had to cut a postit pad paper in half to see what they were talking about in this recipe. A diagram of how to cut and invert the pieces might help more people try this recipe.
