I found this Santa Claus Treats™ recipe last year, after my son Jacob mentioned that he thought Santa would start to get bored with plain old cookies on Christmas Eve. We put the mix together, cut them out with cookie cutters, and decorated them with red and white frosting. Jacob thought it was funny that Santa was going to eat a treat that looked like his head. When he woke up the next morning, all the treats were gone except for one. There was a note that said, 'Dear Jacob, These were delicious. The reindeer liked them, too. I saved the last one for you. Love, Santa.' Needless to say, we're making them again this year.
