Christmas Sweet Treat

Ingredients

• 1 (16.5-oz.) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 36 pretzel twists

Bake at 350° according to package directions or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; press in 2 chocolate mini morsels for eyes and 1 red cinnamon candy for nose. Let cool 1 minute on baking sheets. Remove to wire racks; cool 20 minutes or until completely cool.
