Tips for Making Christmas Cookies
There’s a large variety of unique Christmas cookies you can make during the holiday season. From shortbread cookies to sugar cookies to fun cookies like our Roly-Poly Santa Cookies! Here are some tips when making Christmas cookies!
- When making sugar cookies, consistency of the frosting has to be just right so it’s not too thick or too runny. I always use meringue powder to make it.
- Have different sized frosting tips to frost cookies.
- Stock up on fun holiday sprinkles and dyes to color cookies.
- Choose 3 different types of cookies to make.
