For these cookies, you’re going to need to check out previous posts/videos… Sugar Cookies (one batch of dough) and Royal Icing (coloured in brown, and red).
You don’t need a special cutter, just an upside down gingerbread man cookie cutter! I imagine that it’s probably easier to find a gingerbread man cutter than a reindeer one, and re-purposing a cutter saves time and money! How could that be wrong?

OK…so I made your santa belly cookies tonight and the icing was perfect. I’m serious. I have NEVER made royal icing before and the red flowed so perfectly! I could have made the white for the ruffle on his coat a little stiffer, but other than that, they were precious. Not bad at my first attempt. Your tutorial videos are most helpful. I will attempt the reindeer next. You do an excellent job explaining the icing. Thanks for your help!

Oh good! I was just getting to your first question now, so I’m glad it worked out!
