I was at a cookie exchange with some of my friends today and one of the ladies who is exteremly busy came up with one of the most creative and cute cookie ideas!
She bought some chocolate chip cookie dough and baked it according to the package directions. When she took them out to cool she added two mini chocolate chips for eyes, a red hot candy nose and then broke a small pretzel in two for a reindeer rack. They came out looking like Rudolph! It was easy and really cute. Thought that I would pass this on for anyone who was looking for quick and easy idea, perfect for teachers, neighbors and a great idea to use with young children!
What easy holiday treats do you love?

What a cute idea. I'm baking cookies today. I'm making sugar cookies and brownies for sure. Maybe I'll make these too. They would be great for my daughters class party.

SUBMITTED BY: Mary Fogle
"Sooo easy! This cookie is very malleable, and can be tailored to your families tastes. Try peanut butter, oatmeal, raisins, or chocolate chips as additions."
INGREDIENTS
* 1 (18.25 ounce) package vanilla flavored cake mix
* 2 egg yolks
* 1 cup butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat egg yolks and margarine together until well blended. Stir in vanilla. Gradually add cake mix while beating with an electric mixer. Mixture should be stiff. If it is sticky to the touch, refrigerate for 20 minutes.
3. Form teaspoonfuls of the dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 11 minutes for soft cookies, and for 13 minutes for crispy cookies.
