If your kids are itching to get in the kitchen this holiday season, break out the heart-shaped cookie cutter and make these Rudolph Cookies with your kids!
Roll out your sugar cookie dough and cut out 12 hearts with your cookie cutter.
Bake your cookies according to the recipe or package instructions.
Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
To make your buttercream icing, beat together butter, sugar, cocoa and milk with an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually increase the speed to high.
Once the ingredients are well combined, frost each cookie with an offset spatula.
Sift through your pretzels to find only the whole ones. Place 2 pretzels at the top of each cookie: these will be Rudolph’s antlers.
