Reindeer Cookie shortcut ingredients

You just need a few ingredients for this fun cookie.

Sugar Cookie Dough– If you are pressed for time, you can use store-bought sugar cookie dough. Or you can use this recipe. 

Chocolate Chips – You can use either milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips. 

Mini Pretzels – I like to use the chocolate covered mini-pretzels to decorate these cookies. These coated mini pretzels make for festive cookies. If using plain mini pretzels, you will need a way to make them stick to the cookie. A dab of melted chocolate will do. 

Coated Chocolate Candies - you will want to use red candies for the noses.

Equipment:

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie Racks - for cooling

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
