Tip—Decorating Christmas Cookies

Even if you don’t have time to bake, you and your family can still enjoy special Christmas cookies. It just takes a trip to the grocery store and a little creativity! Here are tricks for making purchased cookies your own works of art.

  • Melt some vanilla or white baking chips. Dip gingersnaps halfway into melted chips…or drizzle the melted chips over the cookies.
  • Tint your favorite vanilla frosting with food coloring. Use to pipe holiday designs on sugar cookies.
  • Purchase chocolate-covered mint cookies; drizzle with contrasting melted white chocolate.
  • Frost chocolate chip cookies with purchased or homemade chocolate frosting. Decorate with colored sugar or sprinkles.
