Use the buttercream frosting to attach the pretzel to the top of a cookie

The buttercream is also used to attach the eyes and the noses.

I think its adorable to make most of them with brown candy noses so the red-nosed “Rudolphs” stand out!

Serve, share, and enjoy!

Storage Tips

This is a great recipe to make ahead for lunches, class parties, or Christmas dessert.

Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter until ready to enjoy. For best results, eat within 2-3 days of making.
