Rudolph/Reindeer Cookies ???
 

I recently went to a cookie walk - and one of the cookies I picked up was what I'm going to call Rudolph Cookies - I'm trying to figure out how to make them. Anyone know about these or something similar??

The cookie part was pretty small - not sure exactly what the dough was - I'm thinking a chocolate chip dough without the choc. chips added or even a sugar cookie dough would work.

Then the decorating part - there were 2 tiny chocolate chips ( I think turned upside down - point down) for the eyes and a red M & M for the nose - this was the traditional ones, but I'm thinking the new mint M & M's would be good too. Then the traditional pretzel shape pretzels were used - like broken in 2 for the antlers.

I would like to make these, but don't know at what point to add the extras -- do you think the dough should bake for a bit before adding the decorations or maybe bake all the way and immediately when removing the cookies are removed and still soft - then apply the face & antlers?? (ok, as I'm typing this that actually makes the most sense.)

Anyone make these?? Have a recipe to share?

I thought these would be fun to send off to my daughter at college to share with her friends.

Got some great cookies at the cookie walk - wish several of them came with recipes though!!!

I've got it....and I sent it to my stepmom and she already made them for a party; she said they were really cute and tasted good! I plan on making them this afternoon!

Reindeer Cookies

These Reindeer Cookies are really adorable!







You'll need:

1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Smooth peanut butter
3 cups Flour
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla


Cream the butter and sugars, eggs and peanut butter, salt and vanilla.
Add the soda and flour and mix well.
Roll into balls.
Flatten the ball and shape it into a triangle.
Place pretzel pieces into 2 of the triangle corners for antlers.
Place a red M-M at the other corner (Rudolph's red nose), and 2 green M-Ms on the cookie for eyes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy

Those are really cute cookies. I hope you have fun making them.

Those are so cute! I just showed them to my daughter and we might add them to our Cristmas baking next weekend.:)

OMG Those are cute! Too bad we just had our Christmas Baking Extravaganza yesterday!!! I would have added those to the list!

We made:

Sugar cookie cutouts w/frosting & decorations
Spritz cookies
Chocolate Raspberry Bars
Black & White Cookies
Oreo Snowballs
Ginger Snaps
Various Almond Bark Dippings (Pretzels, animal crackers, dried fruits)
Andes Mint Chip/Chocolate Chip cookies
White Chocolate Oatmeal cookies
Forgotten Kisses
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

...I think that's everything! Plus, chili and cornbread too!

Maybe I need to make some reindeer cookies too!!!

I saw some in a recent magazine...dang. It wasn't Family Circle. I think it was Ladies Home Journal...lemme see if they have a picture on the website...

hmm...can't find it on the website. I'll see if I can find the magazine...

brb...

Thank you!! I thought I could taste peanut butter in the recipe (I made the mistake of keeping too many different cookies in the same container and after a few days the tastes & smells of the different cookies seemed to intermingle)

These look even cuter than the ones I got - I think they forgot to shape into triangles - because the heads were more ball like - a Million thanks!!

oh, one more thing, do you know how many this recipe makes??

Sorry, no I don't, LOL. I'm not much of a baker to tell you the truth; but these looked like something even I could manage:)

Oh, Suzy so many of these sound good - and most I'm not familiar with!!

Can you post some (OR All :D ) the recipes in this thread asking for cookie recipes?? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...hlight=cookies

I was going to add something to that one - it was a great thread

Thanks for the good idea! I may just have to try a combination of several of these recipes.

:blush08: I really need to learn to embrace spell check! Of couse I meant Christmas cookies.:p

You do a TON of baking Suzy! I want to come over!

ok, I have no idea what Black & White Cookies are

My daughter loves anything with Oreos. Are Oreo Snowballs made with cocunut?? (I'm not a fan, but she likes it)

I'm looking for a really soft Ginger Snaps recipe

These sound interesting Andes Mint Chip/Chocolate Chip cookies

And I have never heard of these - or by a different name :confused: Forgotten Kisses and Peanut Butter Blossoms

Christmas Mice
 

My friend did these for Christmas one year. They are just adorable!

CHRISTMAS MICE

Needed: Maraschino cherries with stems
hershey kisses
sliced almonds
almond bark, chocolate

Melt the almond bark according to directions. Dip maraschino cherry (be sure to remove most wetness) by stem into chocolate. Adhere hershey kiss onto cherry opposite the stem (this becomes the mouse's head-stem becomes tail). Between the hershey kiss and cherry, stick two sliced almonds in to represent ears. Display together (they look like a little mouse army) with the poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas... Very very adorable. You can also use small tube of gel icing to add little eyes on the mouse's head. The response from people who see these is incredible!

Here's another site http://www.thisweeknews.com/?story=s...unkenmice.html

Wonderful!!
 

You all are so good!! A girl needs help and she gets at least 4 recipes!! I better eat some lunch before I start baking, or there won't be any dough for cookies ;)

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Here's the mice recipe that uses oreos also.

Come on over!!

Actually- I NEVER bake...I can COOK, but the "exact" ness of baking drives me crazy-I like to cook, where I can add things to taste, and measuring is all approximate :p

I had 3 friends with me yesterday, and we baked from about 10 AM until 4, then went to the mall and dinner, and then came back and frosted all the sugar cookies at 10 PM! It was a LONG day!

Black and White cookies are basically harder sugar cookies, with half dipped in chocolate. Sometimes we dip the other half in white chocolate too. Traditionally they are heart shaped, about 2-3" in diameter.

I posted the Oreo Snowballs on the other thread ;) They don't have coconut...I bet you could roll them in coconut too after the white chocolate though if you wanted to!

I can probably find a ginger snap recipe for you-let me look around. The ones we made yesterday were actually "Old Fashioned Molasses Cookies"-but they taste like Ginger snaps....They're dense, and not really soft. I know the kind of cookie you're looking for, and I prefer them!

The Andes Mint Chocolate Chip cookies were actually a "cheat" recipe by a friend of mine who doesn't really bake...she bought a premade dry chocolate chip cookie mix, and added store bought Andes Mint chunks to it! They're AWESOME-and they were super easy to make!

Peanut Butter Blossoms are the ones that are Peanut butter cookies with the Hershey's Kiss in the center... I think they have many names :)

Forgotten Kisses are a meringue style cookie-I posted the recipe in the other thread for these.

Those are cute-I've made those before, as well as a mice recipe with shortbread bodies, almond ears, and a red licorice lace tail..I'll see if I can find it!

Just a note for anyone else who might be candy-challenged:p . If you're going to make the reindeer cookies, instead of buying a bag of regular M&M's and going thru the entire bag trying to find red and green ones (like I did last night:embarasse ), M&M's has a bag called "Happy Holiday Mix" that's the milk chocolate m&m's in only red and 2 shades of green (I found this out when I had to buy another bag b/c I didnt' have enough red ones for the nose:rolleyes: ).

Of course, most people probably already knew this:cool:

Susy

Interested in oreo snowball recipe.

I will have to check out the cookie recipe post.


I made these reindeer cookies with my kids when they were smaller and hit was a huge hit. They are very easy to make also.

Those all look YUMMY!! :dribble:

We decided not to do our cookie exchange this year...everyone has been too busy, BUT we are planning one around Valentine's Day.

Reindeer Cookies (Version 1)
Ingredients:
• Nutter Butter Cookies
• Peanut Butter
• Raisins
• Small Pretzel Twists
• Red M & M Candies with Peanuts
Directions:
1. Place a small amount of peanut butter on the top of a Nutter Butter cookie and then put a small pretzel
twist on the peanut butter (letting it stick beyond the cookie) for antlers. Put two more dots of peanut
butter and add raisins for eyes. Finally put a dot of peanut butter on the bottom part of the cookie and
add a red M & M for a nose.

You can cover the nutter butter cookies in white chocolate or chocolate instead of peanut butter.....Or we just used the plain cookie.

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 iceing 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)

96 thin pretzel sticks
1 (16 ounce) package Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
