This No Bake Reindeer Cookies Recipe for Christmas is just so much fun and easy to make!
I'd recommend you make these a day ahead or the morning before serving in the evening. The cookies are like thin crisps. They soften up when you put frosting between them and let them set to absorb the moisture in the frosting.

Are you looking for some fun crafts for the kids to make this holiday season? All of these are pretty simple to make, use very affordable supplies and the best part? They are all pretty perfect for gift giving!

Spread the word, tell your friends! Baked goods or homemade gifts ONLY for the adults! That is what we do in our family, as it is just so big, no one can afford to give 20+ gifts each year, plus to their friends, charitable donations, etc.
