From Southern Living Magazine. Simple recipe for the kids to try. Whether an adult or a child makes these cookies, it's a good idea to have a few extra graham crackers on hand because they break easily. The kids will enjoy eating the mistakes while new crackers are being prepared. When slicing the crackers be sure and use a serrated knife, gently sawing across the top of each. If you try to cut them in one firm motion they will probably break. These are very cute and small hands can decorate them easily.
Ingredients:
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 graham cracker squares (2 1/2-inch square)
24 miniature chocolate chips
12 red cinnamon candies
12 small pretzels, broken in half
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients; mix well, and set aside.
2. Cut a graham cracker diagonally in half using a gentle motion with a serrated knife.
3. Spread a small amount of frosting over top side of cracker half. Top with remaining cracker half, placing cut sides opposite each other so 2 narrow ends meet to for reindeer noise.
4. Spread small amount of frosting to cover top cracker.
5. Gently press chocolate morsels on reindeer for eyes and cinnamon candy for nose.
6. Add pretzel halves for antlers.
7. Repeat procedure to use remaining ingredients.
8. Let dry on a wire rack.
9. Yields 1 dozen.
