More than a recipe book, you may need an Ikea ensemble instructions for making these! Super easy, you just need to ensemble the pieces. Mini pretzels as the reindeer antlers, red balls or mini M&M’s for the nose, melted chocolate or frosting for attach the nose to the cookie and Oreos. That’s all! If you want, you can use a cool straw or cake pop stick and a cellophane bag, a cute string to make a little bow and give it as a Christmas candy with your gifts.
Level: easy peasy lemon squeezy
Also, super quick and super easy! All you need is whipped cream, strawberries and black icing gel for the little eyes. Done!

Level: super easy
Traditional cookies, just made with love. You will need to invest a little more time for this recipe and to turn on the oven, but the result is a yummy classic. Want the fancy factor? Melt chocolate and dip half of the cookie. Then put it on wax baking paper until and allow to set.
