Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a reindeer-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the icing sugar and a few drops of water until you have a thick icing consistency.
-
Divide the icing into two bowls. Add red icing gel to one bowl and black icing gel to the other.
-
Decorate the cooled cookies with the red icing, creating a nose, and the black icing, creating eyes and antlers.
-
Place a mini pretzel at the top of each cookie for the antlers.
-
Use a dot of icing to attach a red candy-coated chocolate for the nose and two edible candy eyes.
-
Allow the icing to set before serving.
