Ingredients

  • 1 package premade sugar cookie dough
  • 1 container Chocolate Frosting
  • 48 candy eyes
  • 48 mini pretzel twists

Instructions

  • Bake your cookies as directed. Then allow the cookies to fully cool.
  • Next you will frost the cookies with the chocolate frosting. Spread an even layer around the cookie.
  • Next you will add two candy eyes to the top center of the cookies. Then add the red M&M at the bottom center of the cookie.
  • Add the two pretzels to each top side of the cookies to create antlers.

Notes

Cookies - I used premade sugar cookie dough. Now you can make homemade sugar cookies if you want. Or even do a peanut butter cookie. 
Frosting- You can make homemade frosting if you want or top with melted chocolate if you prefer over frosting.
