So far I have made my own bauble wreath (I'll pop up a pic just for the sake of showing it off).
Also my first Christmas cooking creations - Melted Snowman Sugar Cookies.
These were an idea taken from Yoyomax12 (youtube)...
They are done with marshmallows, starburst candies (carrot nose), royal icing and Wilton pre-made icing tubes - pretty simple stuff and they really come to life when you put their arms etc on!
I have put the recipe at the end because I have been asked a few times about it - I take no credit for it though! It's not at all my own recipe.
Cookies:
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1. stir together flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside
2. Cream together sugar and butter, add eggs and vanilla and mix until fluffy.
Gradually add flour mixture a little at a time. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour.
3. Heat oven to 350F. Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper and cut out into shapes or pinch off portion of dough and form into desired shape (about 1/4" thick)
Bake until edges are golden brown about 10-15 minutes depending on your cookie sheet
