Christmas Cookie Decoration '08
- 1 batch Cookie cutter cookie dough (cocoa)
- 50 grams Powdered Sugar
- 3 drops Lemon Juice
- 1 Water
- 12 Mini cream puffs (from the dollar store)
- 1 Snacks for decoration (with showy colors)
- Prepare the cookie dough.
- It needs to be put in the freezer, so you need to prepare it first.
- Cut out the cookie shapes.
- Roll out the dough to 5 mm thick.
- Cut out 6 pointed stars in the sizes of 16 cm, 11 cm, 6 cm, and 4 cm, making a total of 4 stars.
- From the same batter, cut out a 6 cm diameter circle to use for the tree trunk.
- Place the cut batter between two sheets of saran wrap and freeze.
- Freezing prevents the dough from crumbling during baking.
- In an oven preheated to 160C, bake for roughly 15 minutes.
- Cool completely.
- Make the icing.
- Mix the lemon juice and the water into the powdered sugar.
- The icing becomes watery very fast, so add it drop by drop and adjust accordingly.
- Pour the icing into a piping bag to use as an adhesive to stick the tree together.
- From the bottom, 2 circles -->star-->mini cream puffs-->star, etc.
- This recipe makes a lot of icing, but if there's not enough icing, it becomes hard to squeeze out of the bag.
- If you want to decrease the amount, do so appropriately.
- I shifted the points of the stars while layering.
- As you can see in the picture, I used the extra icing for decorating.
- If you use 2 batches of cookie dough, you can make this much.
- Using a lot of colorful snacks from the supermarket makes it look very nice.
- This year, I changed the design of the train, but refer tofor the instructions.
- This is a close-up of the ornaments.
- They're held by twirling wire.
- I made the holes in the cookies when I cut the shapes with a straw.
- On Christmas Day, I used the cookie tree as a cake topper.
