Reindeer Cupcakes Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake tin, filling each liner about 2/3 full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.

For each cupcake, place a chocolate wafer cookie on top as the reindeer’s face.

Attach two candy eyes and a red M&M with icing onto the chocolate wafer cookie to create the reindeer’s face.

Break each pretzel in half and insert the pieces into the top of the cupcake to make antlers.
