"A recipe from Food Down Under's website and submitted by Julie K. Cook of Chicago. A Danish Christmas cookie that is brown like a reindeer. Using a reindeer shaped cookie cutter would be nice but any shape will do. Another option - dough can also be rolled into logs about 1-inch in diameter and sliced crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. The hour of chilling time in the refrigerator is included in the prep time."

Wonderful cookie Lori. Crisp and crunchy, with a lovely spiced flavor. These cookies were quick and easy to make. I used my favourite cookie cutters from my childhood, thanks for the memories. I love my reindeers. Made FYC tag game.
