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.
