How To Make chocolate reindeer cookies

  • 1
    Mix butter mixture well. Let sit, covered at room temp 1 hour for sugar to better dissolve. Add sifted, dry ingredients to mixer, beat just until you have a smooth, solid- colored dough. Divide in half. Wrap each half with plastic wrap & refrigerate one hour. Remove one of the halves and roll on floured surface to 1/4" thick. Have oven preheated to 350^. Here's the fun~ cut out with Gingerbread Man cutter. Bake on parchment or silpat. Chill about 10 minutes then place on middle of oven for 10-12 minutes. Refrigerate scraps to reroll. Cool on racks
