Look what I've just made - 'cause we don't have Reindeer here in Australia - I've made Reindeer biscuits. These are for our "Mainly Music" children tomorrow for their Christmas party break up. I've also made Christmas tree cookies etc. Sorry for posting here but more people will see them. Love and blessings Chris

No I made them from a recipe -

125g butter at room temperature
1/2 cup (115g) caster sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
1tsp vanilla extract
1 and a 1/2 cups (225g) self-raising flour
1/2 cup (70g) custard powder
Silver and gold sparkling cachous, or sprinkles.

Preheat oven to 180C. Line baking trays with non-stick paper. Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Beat in themilk and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour and custard powder. Press the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to reest. Divide the dough into manageable pieces. Roll out a portion on a non-stick piece of baking paperto about 1cm thick. I used Christmas cookie cutters. Decorate with the little silver balls etc. Bakr for 10 mins or until light golden brown. Cool for 5 mins before putting them on a wire rack to cooll completely. These are really easy!

Those are soooooo cute! Bet my grand kids would love em! I see the 2 sizes of marshmellows, nose a red candy, I'm going to look for star pretzels! We don't have reindeer here either. But we do have deer meat for supper on Christmas Eve & laugh about it being Rudolph! Course we didn't say this until the kids were older. We have deer, just no reindeer! Son slipped a cherry tomatoe on the plate with the meat one year & then started yelling about it really being Rudolph! (again, all adults persent)

Would love to make some of these but you know where the leftovers would go. I have made the Butternut snaps with either fruitmince and chocolate covering or Caramel and pipe cream onto the top odf the Caramel. They went down well.

O.K. everyone - the biscuits are Butternut snaps (by Arnotts a biscuit company over here) You put them in the oven for 3 minutes on 150C and whilst still warm make a dent in the middle. I then put in Caramel filling (Nestles make it already in a can) and place a marshmallow on the caramel. To put the red nose I used chocolate icing and used a M&M crispy one not peanut and then used the chocolate icing for the eyeballs. I then used mini star Pretzels for the antlers. Voila! Love Chris

Chris, those are just adorable... and I bet they taste really really good, too. I've just got to ask... what did you use for the red noses? Are they gumballs? I'm loving the star shaped pretzels for antlers... a very clever idea!
