Making Reindeer Cookies on a Snow Day
We just had our first snow day of the season and regardless of how much I dislike winter, a snow day is always welcomed. There is nothing better than staying home in our pajamas all day, breaking out the snow boots and sleds and doing nothing but relaxing! Especially this time of the year with Christmas right around the corner!
It was the perfect day to make some Christmas cookies, like these Reindeer Cookies! You may also know them as Monster Cookies.

Don’t they look so good?
Yum, these cookies sound delicious!! Unfortunately, we don’t get much snow where we are located here in Texas. However, it has been crazy cold for the past couple of weeks so we have definitely been getting cabin fever. I homeschool my kids so we are pretty much always at home. I can’t wait to make some of these with them, thanks! 🙂
