Ingredients

Cookies

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

Instructions

  • 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.
