• unsalted butter • sugar • eggs • vanilla extract • almond extract • dry ingredients • strawberry jam • mini pretzels • black decorating icing

You'll need...

In a large mixing bowl or in an electric stand mixer, whip up a batch of thumbprint sugar cookie dough.

Roll dough into little balls and place on a cookie sheet; press each cookie flat, and press your thumb into the center of each cookie.

Fill each thumbprint with a tiny spoonful of strawberry jam.

Break mini pretzels in half, and place one on each side of each Christmas cookie, to serve as antlers.

Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes and let cool completely; after the cookies have cooled, use the decorating icing to add eyes and a smile.

Sprinkle the reindeer thumbprints with powdered sugar before serving and ENJOY!
