Christmas gift tag cookies tutorial!
Wrapping up gifts is one of most exciting and cosiest Christmas activities! We think that if you’re going to do it then do it properly; have stacks of home made cookies to eat, tasty chocolates to tempt those taste buds, spiced drinks and eggnog, plenty of gift wrapping accessories and of course a playlist of festive movies! Perfect! Why not add an extra magical to your present wrapping session with these pretty Christmas gift tag cookies? The lovely folks over at Craftsy.com were nice enough to let us create a fun tutorial on how to make them so check out their fabulous blog for our step-by-step guide. You can bag them up and tie them into the bows of perfectly wrapped presents or have them all for yourself (or share them fellow gift wrapping buddies)!
Cookie decorating needn’t be scary or hard. These snow inspired Christmas gift tag cookies are simply decorated with snowflake sprinkles, tiny edible pearls and sweet sanding sugar. There’s so many fun sprinkles, candies and cake decorations you can use. We love the idea of piping out multi-coloured Christmas lights with royal icing and bright round pearls or mix crushed up candy canes with sanding sugar and edible glitter for a Candy Land inspired look!
If you’re confident with piping you can add holiday messages or recipient’s initials per cookie. Don’t worry if the thought of picking up a piping bag full of royal icing fills you with fear; try painting on names with food colour or having messages printed off via an edible printer!
You can even leave your cookies completely blank and add cute little edible cake decorations to them! We love the idea of plunger cut fondant holly leaves and berries nestled into the centre of each biscuit or even mini candy canes! Why not even add pretty fondant bows onto each of your own Christmas gift tags cookies!
