Christmas Cookie Decorating Hack
This one-minute decorating hack can make any homemade treat look professionally done!
Ingredients
- Any type of cookie (homemade, store-bought, or break-n-bake all work!)
- One can of cake frosting (you can also make your own frosting if preferred)
- Green icing (storebought icing works great, or you can dye some of the white frosting green using food coloring and apply with a piping bag.)
- Round red sprinkles for the berries (you can also use red icing)
Tip: Using both light and dark green icing for the wreath makes a beautiful effect!
Instructions
- Scoop about half of the canned frosting into a microwave safe bowl.
- Heat in microwave for 10-15 seconds so the frosting is a thinner consistency, then stir. (Heating the frosting makes it easier to work with.)
- Dip the top of the cookie into the icing or spread frosting evenly on top of the cookie using a spatula.
- With the green icing, make short vertical lines (about 3 cm each) around the perimeter of the cookie closest to the edge. (I recommend alternating between light and dark green icing for a more natural look.)
- Once the lines of green icing are done, take a toothpick and drag it through the middle of each green line to make the wreath. (Tip: Make one continuous line throughout each green dash without lifting up the toothpick until you’ve gone all the way around.)
- Add berry accents using red sphere sprinkles or dots of red icing.
Notes
This wreath design can be used year-round. Simply substitute the red berries for flower sprinkles for a spring or summer cookie.
