How to Make Frosted Reindeer Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball slightly. Bake for 7-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Watch closely, as they can overbake easily.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost cookies with your favorite frosting.
- Attach two pretzel sticks to the top of each cookie for antlers.
- Add two mini chocolate chips for eyes and one M&M for the nose.
- Store cookies between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container.
