Instructions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined

Stir in the rolled oats and semisweet chocolate chips

Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie

Gently press two pretzel twists on the top of each dough ball to resemble reindeer antlers

Add two candy eyes and one red M&M or red candy to each cookie for the reindeer's eyes and nose

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely
