We’re sharing on of our best Christmas cookie recipes of all time that is also incredibly adorable. Plus did we mention it tastes good?

Are you looking for an easy Christmas cookie recipe with few ingredients?

How about one of the best Christmas cookie recipes in my recipe box?

These reindeer cookies are easy to make, adorable and are yummy!

Simply put … they check all the boxes.

I have been making these for decades.

In fact, they’ve become one of my favorite (and dare I say most adorable) easy Christmas cookie recipes.

Whether you’re young or old, you simply can’t help but smile as you bake a batch of these treats!

There is nothing better at this time of the year than to clear your afternoon schedule, settle into the kitchen and bake up a batch (or two, or three) of cookies.

The warmth of the oven, the scent of the baking cookies filling the house, and starting the afternoon by rifling through grandma’s recipe box to find a favorite family recipe.

The entire production evokes treasured family memories of the past, all while creating new ones.

It truly is the definition of the holiday season.

Besides their adorable appearance, these cookies also taste great.

The addition of the pretzels as antlers gives them a wonderful touch of the classic sweet and salty combination.

Even Santa’s reindeers, especially Rudolph, realize you can’t get by on just looks alone.
