RUDOLPH PEANUT BUTTER REINDEER COOKIES
The cookies firm up quickly when pulled out of the oven. When they're too firm, the antlers and candies don't stick. So we suggest only baking one sheet pan at a time, since you need to quickly place the facial features into the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven and before they have a chance to set. Have all the pretzels and candies ready before you start baking so you aren't scrambling when the cookies come out of the oven.

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER COOKIES
Very CUTE little cookies that will bring a smile to the little ones faces! Great little cookies to send to school on "Christmas Party" day! You will be the hit of the classroom! (hint: you can use icing bag with piping tip, and a frosting that dries hard to stick on the eyes and nose, I use a stiff buttercream frosting colored the color of the eyes and nose, it works faster for me than the melted chocolate). I just LOVE all the cute photos and different ideas for this recipe!

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER COOKIES
Are these not the cutest little cookies?! These little deers are ideal for getting the kiddos involved. They have a pretty subtle peanut butter flavor, so feel free to decorate away! If you can believe it, we weren't able to find the red gumdrops called for in the recipe, so used dried cranberries instead. We were pleased with the way they turned out and would highly recommend making these for your next kid party.
