REINDEER SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, flour, melted butter and egg until soft dough forms. On floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with floured 4-inch reindeer-shaped cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 1 inch apart.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• In small bowl, mix white icing and food color. Spread over heads and bodies of reindeer. Frost antlers, tails and hooves with chocolate frosting. Decorate as desired with decorating gel. Let stand until set.

REINDEER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat butter, sugar, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir flour and baking soda into creamed butter mixture until well incorporated.
• Roll dough into 36 balls. Flatten each ball and shape into an upside-down triangle. Press two pretzels into the two top corners of each triangle for the antlers. Press two chocolate chips into the center of each triangle for the eyes, and one chocolate chip or M&M on the bottom of the triangle for the nose. Arrange cookies on baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

HERSHEY'S™ KISSES™ REINDEER SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, flour, butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Divide dough in half; shape into flattened squares. Wrap each flattened square in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 15 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable.
• Take out one half of dough from refrigerator, and unwrap. On work surface sprinkled generously with flour, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with floured 4-inch gingerbread boy cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cutouts 2 inches apart. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Repeat steps with second half of dough, adding leftover pieces into the mix to reroll.
• Turn each cookie so head is pointed down to look like a reindeer face. Using knife, spread slightly less than 2 teaspoons frosting over cookie. Attach 2 candy eyeballs and 1 milk chocolate for nose. Decorate with gel icing to look like antlers on each cookie. Sprinkle with candy sprinkles. Let stand until set.
