Christmas is coming soon. What better way to prepare than to have some ideas on hand for some delicious sugar cookies. I will show you how to do two different types of Christmas cookies: The Edible Snow Globe and Christmas Tree Cookies.

Edible Snow Globe

Edible snow globe cookies are one of the easiest cookies to decorate. No piping skills needed for this one. For this cookie, you can make your own sugar cookies or use store bought cookies. Just be sure the store bought cookies can support the weight of the objects inside.

Supplies needed:

1. Round cookie at least 3.5″ in diameter. I like this sugar cookie recipe by Neurotic Mom Bakes: https://youtu.be/p20hk4sDiFo?is=YWSTrux3rdLg_k-g
2. Frosting of your choice. Here’s my buttercream recipe: https://sugarspiceadvice.com/2020/04/06/vanilla-buttercream-frosting/
3. Fillable clear ornaments. You can purchase them at Amazon: https://link.amazon/B0dgFZoM8
4. Christmas Icing Decorations. You can purchase these at Amazon: https://link.amazon/B00XUeo0h
5. Fresh Thyme
6. Cinnamon round candies or candies of your choice.
7. Tiny white sprinkles. https://link.amazon/B05XZ3bcY

I recently taught a couple of cookie decorating classes to adults and kids. Here are some of the ones they came up with…

Others did more of a wreath look. They all got very creative! Watch the demonstration video below.

Christmas Tree Cookies

Another family favorite are the Christmas Tree Cookies. Supplies needed are below…

1. Christmas Tree sugar cookie cut outs.
2. Green & white buttercream.
3. Wilton Tip 8. If you don’t have a tip available, you may cut the bottom of a piping bag to create a small hole.
4. Edible gold balls for the ornaments. https://link.amazon/B03gMherT
