Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. With hands, shape roll of cookie dough into triangle-shaped log. (If dough is too soft to cut, place in freezer 30 minutes.)
- With thin sharp knife, cut dough into 32 (1/4-inch-thick) triangular slices; on ungreased cookie sheets, place 2 inches apart. Place 2 pretzel twists on each triangle near corners for antlers.
- Bake 7 to 11 minutes or until set. While warm, lightly press 2 chocolate chips into each cookie for eyes and 1 cherry half for nose. Remove from cookie sheets. Let stand until chocolate chips are set, about 15 minutes. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.
- Candy-coated chocolate candies or gumdrops may be substituted for the cherry nose.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Make sure your butter is softened before you start creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy dough. - Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. - Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.Conclusion:
Reindeer spice cookies are a delicious and festive holiday treat. With their warm spices and unique flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So gather your ingredients and get baking!
