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!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm cranberries. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Wash the cranberries thoroughly. Rinse them in cold water and drain them well.
  • Use a food processor to chop the cranberries. This will make it easier to mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on how tart you like your sauce.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Stir the sauce frequently. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
