Whether it be for a Christmas party, a cookie swap, or a great pairing to the "A Christmas Story" marathon, these cookies are something that everyone needs to try this season. Here are a couple of recipes to spruce up the classic Christmas cookies brought to the table.
Sugar Cookie Trees
Use that family secret sugar cookie recipe and put your own spin onto it by placing frosting between each cookie, shaping it into little Christmas trees. By making slightly smaller ascending cookies and connecting them with green frosting and sprinkle ornaments, topped with a star, it is sure to appeal to even the Grinch himself.
Santa Coats
Melt tablespoons of butter with cherry jello mix until it dissolves, then combine with one package of marshmallows. Mix gooey result with rice krispies cereal and shape into squares. Decorate accordingly with frosting or melted chocolates.
Reindeer Cookies
This can be used with practically any favorite recipe just as an add on. By tossing on a couple of chocolate covered pretzels with some candies to decorate the face, you can turn any cookie into one of Santa's finest.
Melted Snowmen
THESE ARE THE CUTEST THINGS EVER. Throw some frosting on a gingerbread cookie to resemble the puddling of Frosty after spending too much time in the greenhouse. Cut a reese's mini in two to add as a hat and add some sprinkles for the face.
