Today we are making Reindeer cookies, and these one of my favorite easy to make Christmas cookies.It is DAY 4 in our 25 days of Christmas cookie exchange recipes series. I hope you are having as much fun as we are.
We are cheating a bit by using Milano cookies and then decorating them. I like things to be frugal, but I also like to be able to make them quick (especially around the holidays).
Milano cookies are delicious, and they are the perfect shape to make these adorable reindeer cookies. I used the candy cane variety, but if your store doesn’t has those, that is ok. The regular ones work just as great.

Easy to make Christmas Cookies:
You don’t need much to make today’s cookie. Here are the ingredients we used to make these adorable cookies.
Ingredients:
- 15 Milano Cookies – I used the candy cane variety but the plain will work too.
- 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Melting Chips
- 15 Red Candy Decorations (Red Hots)
- 30 Candy Eyes
The main tip I need to give you is to put your chocolate melted in a Ziploc baggie. Then just cup off the tip. This will allow you to draw a little very easily. Remember, they don’t have to be perfect. The imperfections are what make these cookies so adorable!
How to make Reindeer Cookies:
- Place chocolate chips in corner of zippered sandwich bag and microwave 45 seconds.
- Knead candy to make sure it is melted (if not, heat 15 more seconds).
- Cut tiny piece off of corner to pipe.
- Use as chocolate as “glue” to affix the candy eyes and the candy nose to each.
- Pipe antlers above eyes on each cookie.
- Allow to set completely before serving.
