How to make super fun simple reindeer cookies are on the menu today and I\u2019m super excited about them. If you follow along with this blog you know that I shared \u00a0How to Make Happy Renee the Reindeer Cookies a few days ago. Now it\u2019s time for the rest of the reindeer crew.
\nI was going to do individual posts on all these cute little reindeer, but I decided to make Ralph, Rex, and Rudolph all at the same time so we could get along with more Christmas cookies. Let\u2019s think about this for a second. It\u2019s \u201cthe most wonderful time of the year\u201d for a reason and I think cute Christmas cookies play a huge part in spreading Christmas cheer. Don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
Before I start singing Christmas carols and handing out cups of hot cocoa, let\u2019s make Rowdy Rex, Radiant Ralph, and Reliable Rudolph.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the video!
\nRadiant Ralph Reindeer Sugar Cookie:
\nBefore I begin I wanted to mention all these reindeer are decorated in almost the same way. If I make them again I\u2019ll use a lighter brown color for Radiant Ralph and Reliable Rudolph. I do like them a little darker, but I think I\u2019d like them better if they were a little lighter.<\/p>\n
Airbrush Radient Ralph:<\/p>\n
Next, airbrush the edges of Ralph and if you\u2019d like airbrush the top of the head where the antlers will be attached.<\/p>\n
Details, details, details:<\/p>\n
Pipe a line around the head and add the antlers. You can use the same brown, a lighter or darker brown, or black or you can use any color you\u2019d like. I used the warm brown on the antlers and the chocolate brown around the head.
\nTime to outline and flood the nose with the AmeriColor Tulip Red Food Gel Color.
\nPipe the eyes and line from the mouth with the AmeriColor Super Black Food Gel Color.
\nWhile the Tulip Red nose and the eyes are wet, add white highlights.<\/p>\n
Add some snow to the antlers:<\/p>\n
Once the antlers are dry, pipe a small amount of white royal icing on your food-safe brush and gently brush it on the antlers. You can see how this is done in the video. Or you can skip this part if you\u2019d like. You can see both versions in the image above.
\nLet Ralph dry completely and he\u2019s all done.<\/p>\n
Rowdy Rex Reindeer Cookies:<\/p>\n
Outline and flood Rowdy Rex with whatever color royal icing you like. I used AmeriColor Warm Brown Food-Gel Color for this cutie.
\nLet the icing dry until the surface forms a crust.<\/p>\n
Airbrush Rowdy Rex or not:<\/p>\n
Next, airbrush the edges of Rex and if you\u2019d like, airbrush the top of the head where the antlers will be attached or you can skip this part. I made one of each in the main image above and below to show you some options. Pick what you like and go for it!<\/p>\n
Time for a few details:<\/p>\n
Pipe a line around the head with the same color you used to outline and flood him. Pipe the antlers any color you\u2019d like.
\nTime to outline and flood the nose with the AmeriColor Tulip Red Food Gel Color.
\nPipe the eyes and line from the mouth with one of the brown color or the AmeriColor Super Black Food Gel Color.
\nWhile the Tulip Red nose and the eyes are wet, add white highlights.<\/p>\n
Add some snow to the antlers:<\/p>\n
Once the antlers are dry, pipe a small amount of white royal icing on your food-safe brush and gently brush it on the antlers. You can see how this is done in the video. Or you can skip this part if you\u2019d like.
\nLet Rex dry completely and he\u2019s all done.<\/p>\n
I told you the steps were almost the same.
\nReliable Rudolph Reindeer Cookies:<\/p>\n
Outline and flood\u00a0 Reliable Rudolph with whatever color royal icing you like. I outlined and flooded him with the\u00a0Chocolate Brown Food Gel Color.
\nLet the icing dry until the surface forms a crust.<\/p>\n
Airbrush Reliable Rudolph:<\/p>\n
Airbrush the edges of Reliable Rudolph and the top of the head where the antlers will be attached.<\/p>\n
Add some details:<\/p>\n
Time to add some snow to the antlers:<\/p>\n
Once the antlers are dry, pipe a small amount of white royal icing on your food-safe brush and gently brush it on the antlers. You can see how this is done in the video. Or you can skip this part if you\u2019d like, but I like the snow on the antlers.
\nLet Reliable Rudolph dry completely and he\u2019s all done.<\/p>\n
If you notice in the photos I made Rudolph\u2019s eyes brown and I didn\u2019t like them. I used my turkey lacer to remove them and then added the black eyes. Much better don\u2019t you think?
\nAdd some more snow with a little water and some white food-gel color:<\/p>\n
Do you want to add a little snow to each reindeer cookie? It\u2019s not hard, but it is a little messy. If you place the cookies on some parchment paper you can water down a little white food gel color and use a brush to flick some white on the cookies. Grab your turkey lacer of scribe tool and push the brush down to make the splatter. See! Simple and cute.
\nNow you\u2019re all done.<\/p>\n
I hope you like the reindeer cookies. I had so much fun designing the cutters, baking, and decorating them. If you decide to make some, be sure to tag me in your Instagram and Facebook photos. I\u2019d love to see your cookies!
