Today is our cookie party and we are so excited. These Rudolph reindeer Oreo cookies are bound to be a hit with the little girls who are coming along with their mamas. I was surprised at how easy they came together and encourage you to give them a try. We had a lot of extra cherry sour candies left from our Girl Scout sale (We bagged them with darling toppers which I will share it a bit.) and I wanted to use them up. The candy eyes came in BULK (like a 1000 in my wholesale sprinkle order) so we sure had plenty on hand). You can get them on Amazon in a lesser quantity. I grabbed cookies and pretzels at the grocery store and because we keep candy melts in the baking cupboard, we had these stocked thanks to Wilton.
Here are a few tips before you start.
- Have all of your ingredients OPEN and ready to use.
- Practice melting the candy melts before you make your official batch of cookies.
- Keep a wet towel in your work station. You might need to wipe chocolate off your hands and licking them is a no no.
- Use Double Stuff cookies. They are easier to handle.
- Use extra cookies as a resting pad for the pretzels that are setting in melted cocoa on newly designed reindeer.
This photo shows how I used extra Oreo cookies to keep the pretzels in place while the chocolate set.

If you are a reindeer fan, come sit by me. I am too! I created a reindeer printable of activities for you to download, print and share with your kiddos.
How fun would this be to find at your place setting?
Happy Reindeer Games to All!
