What I Love: Reindeer Cookies

Hey Reindeers!
I adore reindeer's and the holidays so this recipe is one of the cutest and most adorable treats for Christmas time! :)
Check it out below..

Sure to be the hit of the holiday cookie plate, these reindeer cuties are fun for children to help make.

Prep Time: 40 Min
Total Time: 55 Min
Makes: 32 cookies

INGREDIENTS:
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated gingerbread or peanut butter cookies
64 small pretzel twists
64 semisweet chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup)
16 candied cherries, cut in half, if desired

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350°F. With hands, shape roll of cookie dough into triangle-shaped log. (If dough is too soft to cut, place in freezer 30 minutes.)
With thin sharp knife, cut dough into 32 (1/4-inch-thick) triangular slices; on ungreased cookie sheets, place 2 inches apart. Place 2 pretzel twists on each triangle near corners for antlers.
Bake 7 to 11 minutes or until set. While warm, lightly press 2 chocolate chips into each cookie for eyes and 1 cherry half for nose. Remove from cookie sheets. Let stand until chocolate chips are set, about 15 minutes. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.
