Rudolph Cookies – Perfect Easy Christmas Cookies

Add in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, and cornstarch. Add mixture to wet ingredients 1 cup at a time.
TIP: The dough will be thicker than usual, so you will need to mix everything together a tad bit longer.
Spoon the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
When the cookies are done baking, place the pretzels on top of the cookies before they get a chance to cool down.
