Santa Cookies
"No baking necessary and always a big hit!! My niece made these last year for the holidays and I thought they were adorable. We don't like red hots, so I use mini M&M's. This also allows you to use various colors for the eyes and nose."

These cookies were so much fun to put together and they turned out so great. Brought a little holiday cheer to this quarantine/pandemic life. I can't get enough of them! -
CUTE!!! Made for Christmas, and the kids loved them!!! -
We got tons of compliments on these cute cookies!! We dipped the red crystals for the hats - it seemed to cover much better than sprinkling. We used red mini m&m's for the nose, and we piped a white chocolate upside-down V to make a mustache and put the red m&m at the peak. We used mini chocolate chips for the eyes. We also used those hard marshmallows (for hot chocolate) for the pom-pom on Santa's hat. 10 *'s for this one!! -
How much did we love these! We got so many compliments on these simple cookies :) They are really cute too! We did want to modify them next time and use red M & M's in place of the red hots...personal preference and I think it would be easier for people to eat instead of having to take it off. Thanks for a wonderful and creative idea! Our DD loved helping make these :) -
These are so easy to make and absolutely adorable. A 1/2 of package of white almond bark did an entire bag of nutter butters. I also found it helpful to put the red sugar crystals into a very small dish and dip the cookie into the dish rather than shaking the crystals onto the head. I also used the suggestion of putting the chocolate into a zip lock bag and cut off the very end to use as the "glue" for the eyes and nose. I have already been instructed to make more of these for Christmas day because the first batch I made is gone.

So easy to make and I got so MANY compliments. I've begun sharing the link to this recipe with several other people. I used mini cherry chips instead of cinnamon imperials since my boys don't like them. I hope the tasted good because they were all gone before I got one myself. Thanks for sharing!
