I am going to show you some simple ways to decorate your cookies.
Make a batch of simple cookies. If you have a cookie cutter then go ahead and make some trees for example, but even round cookies, cut with a bottle cap or the top of a glass or anything, are perfect.
You can also take store-bought cookies and decorate them. If you have kids they will love this activity!
You will also need to make some Royal Icing. It's not that hard and I will post a recipe for that soon too.

Steps

1

You will need Royal Icing in a consistency like honey. When you "cut" it with a knife, it should take about 10 seconds to become whole again.
2

Put it in a piping bag with a small round tip and make the border in your round cookies
3

Fill it up using the same tip (or a bigger one if you want). No need to be thourough, we will fix it in the next step
4

Take a toothpick and move the icing around, so that it is filled everywhere. You can also move the whole cookie with your hand a bit if you feel comfortable. You end up with a nice base.
5

While your icing is still fresh, take the bag with the green Royal Icing and create some dots. They need to be small and with a distance between them.
With the toothpick start from one dot and move it across all dots, without stopping.
6

Take some red sprinkles / edible confetti etc and place them around to create a wreath
7

For the trees: do the same thing with the border and the filling. Then you can decorate them in so many ways!
8

You can just use sprinkles, or any type of candy you have
9

You can make decorations by creating lines and then going through them with a toothpick
10

You can fill with green icing and then decorate on top of that with white.
11

Instead of border and fill you can just make lines with green Royal icing and decorate
12

So many options!

I live in Greece but I love to try and experiment with food from all over the world! I have 2 children that are grown up now and off to the University, but I consider it my great success that they both love to try new things, they can cook and actually love to do it! It is my firm belief that everyone can cook and the only thing to do is get in the kitchen and try it!
