Reindeer Cookies
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!
12 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
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.
