Rudolph Cookies
1 recipe basic sugar cookies(follows)Red hots or similar cinnamoncandyChocolate chipsLarge pretzel twists, broken

Basic Sugar CookiesAn Amy’s Cooking AdventuresOriginal Recipe
½ cup unsalted butter,softened¼ cup salted butter, softened1 cup granulated sugar2 eggs1 tsp vanilla extract½ tsp salt2 ½ (+ ½ cup, as needed) cupsall purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350degrees F.
Place the butters and sugar inthe bowl of a stand mixer.  Cream themtogether until light and smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at atime, until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as necessary.  Stir in the vanilla and salt.
Slowly add the flour, addingadditional flour as necessary.
At this point, the dough canbe flattened into a disc and refrigerated for up to 1 day before using.  I prefer to use it right away when it is niceand pliable.
Roll the dough onto agenerously floured rolling mat.  Forreindeer cookies, used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into a large rectangleand then into triangles.
To make the reindeer, place ared hot on one point of the triangle for a nose.  Place two broken pretzels over the remainingpoints, and add two chocolate chips for eyes in the center.
Bake in the preheated oven for8-10 minutes or until the cookies are firm and just beginning to brown alongthe edges.
Makes about 30 reindeercookies
