Reindeer Cookies!

Are these not so cute? I got the idea from a friend of mine, she makes such cute little desserts! I thought this would be such a neat little project for Natalie. I mean it's that time of the year so she was excited!
Doesn't she look like she is having so much fun? So here's the recipe. The cookies are oatmeal chocolate chip.
1 cup butter,softened                                      1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4cup packed brown sugar                         1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2cup white sugar                                          2 1/2 cups rolled oats
2eggs                                                              2  cups semi sweet chocolate chip
2 tablespoons milk                                          1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract                                (I added a 1/2cup of chocolate chips instead of the walnuts)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Beat together butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs,milk and vanilla:beat well. Add combined flour,baking powder and salt; mix well. Stir in oats, chocolate chips and nuts; mix well
Drop rounded tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Baked 9-10min. Cool for 1 min on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack.
Have you gotten out your ingredients yet?

You also need m&m's,chocolate icing and a piping bag or you could use a zip lock bag and cut a small corner off. Yummy cookie dough, don't eat too much it will give you a tummy ache!
So are your cookies baked and cooled? Are you ready to decorate? Now its time to put the chocolate icing in you bag of choice. First make you antlers

Now you eyes...my bag of m&m's had 1 brown in it so my eyes ended up being made out of the frosting and well Natalie put m&m's everywhere!

Now add your red nose or let the kiddos go crazy with the m&ms I know Natalie made an alien reindeer. She said it was the best kind!
Have fun and make a mess!!
