Frosted Reindeer Cookies

I got this off an email from pillsbury this year. i'm posting them as stated in the email. i did change things by forming the cookies by hand, instead of the triangle thing. and i used mini chocolate chips, the regular sized looked too big for the size of my cookies. i couldn't find gumdrops anywhere, imagine that, so i used m&m's. a little time consuming with the hand forming, but i would do them again. watch the cookies closely, they over cook easy. i'm sure you could use your own sugar cookie dough also.
