    Are you a Nutter Butter fan?  I am, and one of my viewers commented on my YouTube Channel and pointed out that the Nutter Butter Cookies are underrated and I agree with her!  I don’t know when I grew fond of Nutter Butter Cookies, but I found it to be delicious and satisfying.  To make the Nutter Butters even better, try dipping the cookies in dark chocolate, so good!

    Putting these Reindeer cookies was simple, however when placing the eyes on the cookie, just be careful not to let the eye flip because once it flips over and the white becomes dark, the cookies end up looking like a scary cookie.

    Tips and Tricks for Making These Reindeer Cookies:

    • If you love to give edible gifts during Christmas, you can place these cookies in a Christmas-themed box.
