3-Ingredient Reindeer Cookie Recipe:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange Ritz crackers on it.
3. Place a Reese’s Thin on top of each cracker.
4. Bake for about 90 seconds, just until the Reese’s are shiny but not fully melted.
5. Remove from the oven and gently press another Ritz cracker on top of each Reese’s, just enough to stick, but don’t smoosh it down.
6. Transfer the cookies to the fridge for 10-15 minutes to cool and set.
7. Meanwhile, melt a block of almond bark or chocolate of your choice.
8. Dip each cookie in the melted almond bark, covering it completely.
9. Place the coated cookies back on the parchment paper to dry. Top with pretzels, candy eyes, and a cinnamon dot to create the reindeer. Be sure to do this while the chocolate is still wet so they dry and stay in place!
10. Once set, enjoy these easy and addictive 3-ingredient cookies! Perfect for holidays and kid approved!
SIMMER POT RECIPE: 1- 12inch tall piping bag (I buy mine at Walmart, but they are available at some Dollar Tree stores and Hobby Lobby).

1/2 cup Cranberries
A spring of mint or rosemary (which ever one you prefer).
2 Cinnamon Sticks
1 orange
CARD SAYING:
When you’re ready to make your home smell amazing, slice the orange and place all ingredients in a simmer pot.
Cover with 2 cups of water and simmer on low.
Enjoy the festive scent this holiday season.

Loving it😊😮😢❤
I love watching your videos. So helpful and inspiring! Thank you!
One Christmas my aunt made a cookbook of her favorite recipes. I thought it would be nice to collect all the family recipes that are served around each holiday, with a quick blurb about any fun traditions your family does each holiday! Print enough so each household has one insuring unique fun family traditions not only get carried on but the stories behind when, where and who started them carries along with the recipes too! These were just printed on regular printer paper and a stretchy string was used to “bind” them. I can’t tell you how often I use the cute little thing!
Add measurement conversions, substitutions, and any other info you think your family might enjoy! Then tuck it behind your towel bowl!
