Time 2h

Yield 27

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
27 miniature pretzel twists, broken in half
54 Betty Crocker™ Candy Shop candy eyeballs
27 brown M&M's® milk chocolate candies

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, leaving foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter, cream cheese and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Spread dough in bottom of pan. Bake 19 to 23 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
  • Remove bars from pan by lifting foil; peel foil away. Spread frosting over top. Cut into 27 triangles as follows: Using sharp knife, cut into 3 horizontal rows. Cut each row into 9 triangles so each triangle has about a 2-inch wide base, cleaning knife with paper towel after each cut to keep frosting clean of crumbs. (See diagram below.) Set aside end pieces for snacking.
  • For each reindeer: Press 2 halved pretzels on top corners of cookie triangle for antlers, 2 candy eyeballs in center for eyes, 1 brown candy on tip of triangle for nose (use photo as guide). Repeat with remaining cookie triangles. Store covered in airtight container in single layer.

Extra cute Reindeer Cookie Bars are fun, festive and fabulous! These easy Christmas cookie bars are the perfect addition to your holidays!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup salted butter (softened)
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup crushed pretzels
1 cup M&Ms
1 cup pretzels (cut in half)
½ cup M&Ms (red and green)
mini chocolate chips (for the eyes)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 11 x 17 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat. You can also grease with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about one to two minutes.
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Add in flour and baking soda and stir. Fold in crushed pretzels and M&M's until just combined.
  • Transfer dough to prepared pan and press into pan evenly.
  • Make a reindeer face by lining up 2 chocolate chips, one M&M, and a pretzel (cut in half) to make the face of a reindeer (See photos for example). I like to make a small indentation where the bars are going to be so that I can make sure the reindeer are lined up evenly.
  • Bake in oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  • Allow cookie bars to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into bars and serving.
