👩🍳 How to Make Cookie Dough Reindeer

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough

Start by preparing a batch of Pascha’s Vegan Chocolate Cookie Dough. Roll the dough into 3-inch balls and flatten them slightly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, until firm.

Step 2: Prepare the Antlers

While the cookie dough chills, carefully break gluten-free pretzels in half. These will be your reindeer antlers!

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

Using a double boiler, melt Pascha 100% Dark Chocolate Chips until smooth and glossy. For best results, watch our guide on tempering dark chocolate to achieve a perfect finish.

Step 4: Dip & Decorate

Coat the chilled cookie dough rounds in melted chocolate. Because the dough is cold, the chocolate will set quickly. Before it hardens completely, press two pretzel halves into the top for antlers, add candy eyes, and finish with any other decorations you’d like — a red candy nose, sprinkles, or crushed peppermint for extra cheer.

Step 5: Chill & Enjoy

Place the decorated reindeer on a baking sheet and refrigerate until fully set. Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

🎅 Recipe Tips & Variations

Use Pascha 70% or 85% Dark Chocolate for a milder flavor.
Add crushed candy canes or sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
Use mini pretzels for bite-sized reindeer treats.
Wrap individually in clear bags for festive homemade gifts!
