Steps

1

Make your cookies as directed on the recipe. When done let fully cool.
2

Place frosting in a cake decorating bag and use a round tip for the reindeer, face, and antlers. Using a little of the white frosting as "glue to place the M&M for the nose.
3

Then using a leaf tip..(I use #67)..pipe on the leaves. (If you don't have a leaf tip you can always cut a very small upside down v shape in a corner of a plastic Ziploc bag)
4

Then place 2 jimmies for the holly on the leaves. IF this is too hard then use the red frosting instead and do 3 small dots to represent berries. (I have done this both ways.)
5

Be creative with the faces and have fun! :) When the frosting hardens then you can Store them in a air tight container. Enjoy.

I began helping in the kitchen at a very young age. Baking as well as cooking runs in my family. My ancestors when they came from Europe opened a chocolate shop here. Cooking is like parenting. It takes love, patience, discipline,and always expect the unexpected because sometimes that is when the best recipies happen but overall in the end it is worth it :)
