A reindeer cookie attempt

I found a recipe on a website for the most adorable reindeer cookies and got this grand plan. Adri and I would make them!!! Now, mind you, in my head I envisioned it all working out perfectly and us having these darling cookies to give to everyone in the on Christmas, with Adri giving them to each person; proud of her hard work. Everyone would ooh and ahh and tell her what a great job she did...Don't get me wrong, she did a great job, but that's where my vision ends.

Here are some pictures of our end product of a couple of the cookies, which, seconds after the picture, lost their antlers. I can not get the antlers to stick in the cookies for anything!!!

At least we have memories. :)

I don't know about this guys...By my calculations, I think the antlers will be just a little too heavy to stay on the cookie...

Mommy's cookie

Adri finally settles to make a cookie after eating M&M's, cookies, and chocolate covered pretzels. She needed to sample the goods before she'd give them out. :)

Adri decided to break the pretzels for the antlers, which actually made it look more like antlers. When I tried to break pretzels they crumbled. I guess you need little hands for the task.

It takes a lot of fine motor skills to place little M&M's in precisely the right place!
