Cookie and Story time = Perfect Holiday memories

Another fun project to add when making these cookies is to add a fun story. Think of the fun you’ll have while eating these cookies and listening to this sweet story about Dot the reindeer. Dot may be the littlest reindeer in the North Pole, but she has a big desire to help Santa pull his sleigh! But Dot just can’t seem to fly the right way, no matter how hard she runs, leaps, and kicks. Will Dot learn to fly, or is the littlest reindeer just too little?

What you’ll need to make Reindeer Cookies

Graham crackers

Chocolate frosting

Red circle candies (think Red Hots, M&Ms or Skittles)

Candy eyes (I stock up on these, you can never have too many)

Teddy graham crackers for ears

First things first you want to break all your graham crackers in half so that you’ve got squares instead of rectangles. If you’re doing this project with young kids take time to talk about the difference between those two shapes.

Next you need to spread chocolate frosting on one side of the cracker. This will be the messiest part if kids are helping, so, neat freaks beware.

Then you grab your teddy grahams for the antlers. Turn them backwards and upside down so that the little bear faces don’t show and so they look like antlers. \

Then you will add eyes and mouth using your red circle candy of choice and two little candy eyes.

And there you have it; the cutest, easiest, most stress free Christmas cookie you ever did see.

Your little ones will be so proud of their creations. And since it’s a season of sharing why not take a few over to your neighbor’s house? Santa would approve.
