Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer Cookies

It’s my favorite time of the year, and I have a lot of new treats that you and your family will enjoy. You can have kids help you decorate them and turn it in to a decorating party.

What you’ll need:

Pillsbury Cookie Dough

Mini M&Ms

White Chocolate

Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Pretzels

Paramount Crystals

Directions:

Bake the cookies in circles according to the directions in the packaging and let them cool completely

Take the semisweet chocolate chips and melt them in a microwave safe bowl. Add some paramount crystals to the chocolate if it’s too thick

Dip the pretzels into the chocolate and cover them completely. Place them aside until they have hardened. (You can also buy the pretzels that are already dipped in chocolate to make it easier)

Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl

Take a mini brown M&M and dip one side to the white chocolate and add it to the cookie. Dip another brown M&M and add it to the other side of the cookie. Those will be the eyes. Dip a red M&M to the white chocolate and add it as the nose

Take two chocolate covered pretzels and dip a small side of it with white chocolate and place them as the antlers

End Result:

Super Easy Sugar Cookies

I usually don't make cookies from scratch because I feel like they take too long to make, but this time I thought I would give it a try. They came out delicious and I am about to tell you how I made them.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Direction:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
I started by beating the butter and sugar until it became creamy. Then I added the eggs and vanilla until it was blended. In a separate bowl I mixed the flour, baking powder and salt together. Finally I added both mixtures together until they were completely blended.

I rolled out the dough and used cookie cutters of my choice and placed them on a cookie sheet and baked them for about 8 minutes.
