List of Ingredients
Chocolate Reindeer
1 cup buter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
44 red-hot candies
Icing(optional):
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a reindeer-shaped cookie cutter. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-9 minutes. Immediately press a red-hot onto each nose. Cool for 2-3 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. If desired, combine confectioners; sugar and milk until smooth. Cut a small hole in the corner of a heavy-duty resealabel plastic bag; fill with icing. Pipe around edges of cookies and add a dot for eye.
Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen
