You can enlist little hands to help position the antlers, eyes and noses on these adorable, crisp reindeer cookies. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
96 miniature pretzels |
96 m&m's® brand mini chocolate candies |
48 small red gumdrops |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Divide dough into eight portions; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 6-in. circle; cut into six wedges. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press in pretzels for antlers, baking bits for eyes and a gumdrop for the nose.
4. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 4 dozen.
