Prep time: 20 min.
Baking time: 12-14 min.
Decoration time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
- 2 bags DOVE® Brand Milk Chocolate Miniatures, unwrapped
- 1 bag DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolate Miniatures, unwrapped
- 1 bag M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 18-oz. tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- Yellow sprinkles
- Snowflake sprinkles
- 1 tube white decorative frosting
- 48 mini pretzel twists
- 3-inch round cookie cutter
- Wax paper
- Red and green curling ribbon
- Craft sticks
- Cookie sheet
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350?.
- Knead the sugar cookie dough with the flour until smooth. Roll it to 1/4-inch thickness. Press out 24 cookie rounds with the cookie cutter. Transfer the circles to an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Break the top curves of the pretzel twists to resemble antlers. Then, press 2 pretzels at the top of each cookie circle and one craft stick at the bottom.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until golden. Let them cool on a wire rack.
- Melt the DOVE® Brand Milk Chocolate Miniatures in the microwave for 1-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread a spoonful of chocolate over each cookie and pretzel.
- Sprinkle the yellow sprinkles over the antlers and the snowflake sprinkles in between the antlers as the hair. Place a DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolate Miniatures into the middle of each cookie, and then place it on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is hardened, about 15 minutes.
- Attach the M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays to the DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolate Miniatures for the eyes and nose with decorative icing. Tie a ribbon into a bow at the bottom of the reindeer’s head.
