Rudolph Cookies
- Red M&Ms
- Chocolate Covered Pretzels
- Eyeball candies or chocolate chips
Christmas Light Cookies (aka Stranger Things Cookies)
- ½ cup chocolate chips Or use frosting
- Candy-coated sunflower seeds
Cookie Cups
- Christmas sprinkles or mini M&Ms
For cookies: bake according to package or recipe directions on a cookie sheet.
For cookie cups: spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place one break-n-bake square (or about 1 tablespoon cookie dough) in each muffin cavity.
Bake 8-12 minutes, or until done. Cool completely.
To make Rudolph: frost with vanilla icing. Place two eyes (or chocolate chip eyes), an M&M red nose, and two chocolate covered pretzel antlers on each cookie.
To make Christmas Light cookies: Frost with vanilla icing. Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave (about 1-2 minutes, stirring each 30 seconds). If the mixture is too thick, add a drizzle of oil to thin. Place in a ziploc bag and cut off one tip. Pipe the light strand on the cookie. (You could also use a licorice rope for this.) Place candy sunflower seed "lights" on the strand.
To make the cookie cups: frost with vanilla frosting and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles or candies.
