Pretzel Reindeer Cookies
Pretzel Reindeer Cookies are the sweetest cookie project that you can make with your kids this Christmas season. Perfect for a little holiday party or watching your favorite holiday movies. These Pretzel Reindeer Cookies differ from the ones made with rolo candy because you are actually using cookies and do not have any of that melty mess that may happen with the rolo pretzel reindeer.

Use a round cookie cutter, about 2 inches in diameter, to cut out 12-15 cookies.
