Christmas Cookies

Not So Easy But Oh So Good And Fun Sugar Cookies
Disclaimer: These are harder than they look.
Ingredients:
Publix Sugar Cookie Dough (1 or 2 Rolls)
Mini Chocolate Chips (I like Dark Chocolate if you can get it)
1 small package of cinnamon red hots or is it hearts? They are hot and heart shaped-ish.
1 package of mini pretzel twists (I recommend Snyder's of Hanover)
Cut the cookies according to sugar cookie package directions ...Use a sharp knife!

Once you lay out the cookies on your greased cookie sheet, pinch them about 2/3 of the way down to make the Reindeer shaped face.

Carefully break the mini pretzel twists in half to make antlers and press into the top of the cookie. This is completely trial and error. You will mess up and you will eat a lot of pretzels in the baking of these cookies, or at least I did. If so, be sure to eat a fingerful of chocolate chips alongside the pretzels, they are better this way, trust me. Bake according to package instructions. Remove and cool for a few minutes, then add chocolate chips and red hots. There is a science to adding the chips at the perfect time, not to melt but to adhere to the cookie. Good luck with that.
