Chocolate Mint Chip Sugar Cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cookie mix, butter, egg, and water per the instructions on the cookie mix package.
Stir in the creme de menthe chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop teaspoonfuls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Peanut Butter Reindeer Cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
For each cookie, roll about a teaspoon of dough into a ball, then press it down with your fingertips to flatten it and form it into a triangle shape about 1 1/2 inches long.
On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, place 2 chocolate covered mini pretzel twists about 1 inch apart to look like antlers; press top of dough triangle gently into pretzels. Repeat with remaining dough and pretzels.
Place two candy covered chocolate bits onto each cookie to resemble the eyes, and one below those two to be the nose. Choose any color candy covered chocolate bits you like.
