"Very CUTE little cookies that will bring a smile to the little ones faces! Great little cookies to send to school on "Christmas Party" day! You will be the hit of the classroom! (hint: you can use icing bag with piping tip, and a frosting that dries hard to stick on the eyes and nose, I use a stiff buttercream frosting colored the color of the eyes and nose, it works faster for me than the melted chocolate). I just LOVE all the cute photos and different ideas for this recipe!"

How cute are these! They made me LOL too. Made me feel like a kid again. Whimsical and adorable. Just what was needed. Thanks for posting! : )

LOL, what fun to make and an awesome idea! I made some dipped in semisweet chocolate chips and some with plain faces. To add depth, I created a nose/muzzle using a peanut butter candy melt. I also used candy eyes, and added "snow" to some of the antlers with melted white chocolate chips. Rather than pretzel sticks, I used pretzel twists so the antlers would have branches and curves.

This is a very cute idea! I agree with Chef #738454 that this is a 2 person job,though. My daughter and I used store bought chocolate dipped pretzels for the antlers and I mixed white and regular chocolate to dip the cookies in. I made these to accompany recipe#103175. My niece and nephew will adore them. Thanks!!

I dipped my in chocolate candy coating. That makes it a 2 person job, though, because it is VERY messy. I dipped the top, dipped the bottom and then did a quick scrape off the back of the cookie (rubber spatula) and a quick scrape around the edges and laid it out on wax paper. My daughter quickly laid on the eyes, nose and pretzel antlers!

Awesome, easy, tasty cookies-I made these last night for my kids' daycare party and they were so crafty and easy to do. I opened the Nutter Butters carefully (I didn't break any so it's not hard to do)dipped the tips of the pretzels in white icing for adhesive (I used tubed icing already prepared), put the cookie back together and used brown mini M&M's for eyes and Red Hots for noses, securing them with small dab of icing. They turned out really cute! Thanks for a great idea!

<p>I'm the mother of 2 (boy and a girl), currently 3 grandchildren (all girls), 1 Chihuahua (Bebe` Chico), and at last count 8-yard cats. Too many of my city friends believe I live a pretty boring life in the country. But country life is perfect for me. For fun I travel around the state visiting country fairs and craft shows. I own more gardening and craft books than cook books, that's what drew me to recipezaar. My passions are cooking, gardening, scrapbooking, sewing and spending time with my family.</p><p>My biggest problem right now is finding time to spend on this wonderful site. Last summer I did start back up canning and I even purchased a pressure canner so now I'm canning a little more than just jams and jellies.<br /> <br />I'm so glad to see so many people are enjoying my Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe, and it pleases me to know you are receiving great compliments on the juicy bird! <br /> <br />Thank you all for your wonderful comments, Lots of Love.. ~GMaw~</p>
