Rudolf the Reindeer Chocolate Cookies

Alice Seuffert continues the 12 Days of Cookies with a cookie made from a cake mix!

INGREDIENTS

1 box Moist Supreme dark chocolate cake mix
½ cup Land O’Lakes Salted Land O’Lakes Butter
2 Land O’Lakes All-Natural Eggs
2 Tablespoons water
48 Hot Tamale or Red Mike and Ike Candies
96 candy eyes
3 cups white chocolate or yogurt covered pretzels (broken into pieces)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a mixer, combine cake mix and butter.  Once mixed, add eggs one at a time and then add water.  On a greased cookie sheet, drop cookies with small cookie scooper and bake 8 minutes. 
3. As soon as cookies come out of the oven, press pretzels into top of “head” for antlers.  Then press in eyes and red candy for nose.  If children are helping assemble “Rudolf” remove cookies from cookie sheet first and assemble on wax paper.

Makes 4 dozen.
