25DoCC-Reindeer cookies

We had Rudolf's feet, now it's "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"

December 18, 2012-Reindeer cookies

 

Ingredients:

1pkg Nutter Butter cookies
1pkg (1lb, 2c) milk chocolate chips
mini chocolate chips
semi sweet chocolate chips
mini pretzels
sliced almonds
red m&m candies

Directions:

1.  Melt milk chocolate chips (I used the microwave in 20s intervals) and dip cookies into the chocolate, scraping off the extra on the edge of the bowl
2. Set chocolate covered cookies on baking sheet and decorate then place in the freezer for 10min
Yield ~3 dozen

Notes:
-Break pretzels in half to make antlers (they won't all break the same so you can have big antlers, little antlers, and buds)
-Alternate between m&m and chocolate chip noses for Rudolfs and regular reindeer
-Mini chips for eyes (could use mini m&ms) and almonds for ears
-Leave part of one end of the cookie undipped so it's easier to hold and looks like a nose
-Scrape the chocolate smooth on the edge of the bowl before decorating, you can scrape most of the chocolate off the back of the cookies
-If the cookies don't pop right off the backing sheet after being the freezer, set them in for a little longer


The Verdict:
-cute and tasty
