These Oreo reindeer cookie treats are perfect for all of your holiday parties and are a fun project for kids to make too.

UPDATE: This craft project was initially created for a website by the name of Kidzui, however that website no longer exists.

‘Tis the season for decorating cookies, and in our house decorating sugar cookies and gingerbread just isn’t nearly enough, this year we decorated Oreo’s too .

What you need:

• Oreo cookies (we used the red crème Winter Oreo’s)
• M&M’s (red)
• Candy eyes
• Pretzels
• Chocolate chips

Very carefully break the pretzels – I tried using a sharp knife for this but found it cracked the side of the pretzel I wanted intact, so breaking small pieces off them by hand was much easier. 

Next, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl (check the package for directions on how to do this).

Dip one side of the pretzel into the chocolate and place on a sheet of wax paper.  Place into the freezer for about 10 minutes.

While the chocolate dipped pretzels are in the freezer, use small amounts of the melted chocolate to attach the red M&M nose and the candy eyes to the front of the Oreo to make the reindeer face.

Remove the pretzels from the freezer and dip the bottom into the chocolate.  Place it very carefully into the top of the Oreo cookie.  Repeat with the other pretzel antler.  Stand the cookie up in a narrow dish (you could use a mini muffin tin, egg cup, or dish) until the pretzel antlers are set.
