Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup red M&M candies
• 1/2 cup pretzels, broken into antler shapes
• 48 candy eyeballs

Instructions:

Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up

Melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

The chocolate chips should be carefully mixed in

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop cookie dough by the tablespoonful onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper

For the reindeer's nose, press two red M&Ms onto each cookie

For the antlers, place two pretzel sticks above the nose

Just above the nose, put two candy eyes

For 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, bake the cookies

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

After the reindeer Christmas cookies have cooled, put them in a container that won't let air in
