  • Candied red cherries, cut into quarters
  • Raisins or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut roll of dough in half. Unwrap one half and refrigerate remaining half of dough until needed.

  5. Repeat with remaining half of dough.
  6. Spread frosting over cookies.
  7. Press pretzels into top two corners of each cookie for antlers.
  8. Place cherry piece at bottom to resemble nose. Place raisins on frosting for eyes. Let stand until frosting is set.
