Did you know that you can create reindeer cookies out of gingerbread man cookie cutters? To do so, turn the gingerbread man cookie upside down. The legs of the man become the reindeer's antlers, the arms become the reindeer's ears, and the head is the reindeer's face. Check out my cookies below for a cute example! Turn these cookies upside down to create darling Gingerbread Reindeer Cookies that will fly off party platters before Santa can swoop down the chimney.
