Christmas Cookie Decorating - Kid's Art Class

Back by popular demand...we decorated Christmas cookies in last week's art class.  Edible art, what's not to love?!  I used the sugar cookie recipe straight out of my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook with powdered sugar icing.  The drizzly consistency allows for fun blending techniques (using toothpicks while wet) and of course we had lots of sprinkles too.  All 14 students got very creative with their cookies.  There were some beautiful results, almost too pretty to eat...almost.

 

 

 

 

Here is my morning home-school group.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of my afternoon class.  But I did get photos of the cookies.  :)  

Christmas Cookie Decorating

 Here is just a small sample of the yummy cookies we decorated last week.  It is one of my favorite Christmas traditions!

 If you run a toothpick through the wet icing you can make really cool effects.
